Older hotel but clean
It’s an older hotel…our room opened to the outside😏 it was clean with comfortable beds. It does have one washer/dryer guest laundry, which I used. Nice front desk, but we could never get temperature control in room to work correctly. I woke at 1:30 with a stifling room. We had turned to cool , but somehow the unit put out heat. The room was small but functional.

Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value and location
Great stay at this lovely establishment with the right price to quality ratio. It was just shy of of a 5 star rating because the gym doesn’t open until 9 am, which is very late and therefore was unable to get in a morning run before continuing our road trip. We got a renovated room so everything looked clean and modern. The hotel is a short 8 min drive from downtown, which is very convenient.
