Decent Hotel

There are no food options close by but there are some restaurants about a 10 minute walk. Parking is free but it is a gravel lot. The room and bathroom were clean but average. Surprisingly we had no closet but an odd contraption made of metal pipes and 4x4 timbers, with a couple of hangers. Complimentary breakfast was prepackaged pastries, coffee, juice and water. This hotel was an average hotel with a boutique hotel price tag. It was a decent stay but not for the price.

It was an ok stay!

When we arrived about an hour before check in we asked if we could check in and we were simply told none of the rooms were ready. We asked if there was an early check in option and it was a no. Not a “let me see if your room is ready and maybe we can accommodate.” It was just “no.” The pillows were cheap. The kind of pillows that quickly go from semi comfortable to flat. The sheets were completely unbreathable so you’d go from cold to sweating in a few minutes. Room service never cleaned our room. We were there for 3 nights. Trash was never taken out, towels never replaced, bed never made. The TV only had cable. Separate from this, it was a really cute hotel. Staff was quite friendly separate from the check in experience. It was nice to have some simple free food in the lobby. The outside seating area and lawn were great! And the sandwich shop across the street was amazing.

Perfect spot to stay!

The rooms are very modern and clean. Location is perfect, walking distance to Main St. and all of downtown as well as the HOF Museum. Nice lobby amenities for snacks and breakfast. The lady at the front desk was very kind, super friendly and did her best to figure out our Roku TV that we couldn’t get to connect to any live shows for news or sports. The Roku channels were just replaying outdated repeats of prior broadcasts. Other than that, highly recommend to stay here.
