We enjoyed our stay here during the last week in July. The front desk staff was very courteous and friendly. We stayed in room 14 and it was very quiet. We had daily housekeeping service. The complimentary breakfast in the restaurant included eggs, bagels with cream cheese, blueberry muffins, boxed cereals, coffee, and juice. Waffles are available upon request. Parking was conveniently available directly in front of our room. The room rate was very reasonable compared to others in the area. We would definitely stay there again. eggs service.

The room is clean, beds and pillows are comfortable. All you need for a night or five without spending a fortune on the city. We were only there for a night but would gladly spend more here if needed. The included breakfast was very good as a bonus!

This hotel was generally a good value for the cost. However, I am an elderly woman and was assigned a room on the second floor. The property has no elevator so I was obliged to lug my suitcase up a flight of stairs to get to my room.
