Pros: Clean room, comfy beds and pillows, easy check-in, basic but nice free continental breakfast, snow shovels and car ice scraper tools available for use . Cons: scarce parking and limited plowed driveways and parking spots (but that was due to the recent storm with lots of snow), bedside lamp was broken and the front desk person said there was no replacement. I’d stay here again.

The room was okay overall, but everything felt very old and outdated. The carpet especially could really use replacing. Breakfast was average, nothing special but fine. On a positive note, the staff was very kind and friendly, which made the stay more pleasant.
