We booked this place one week in advance of a Saturday night stay compared to prices plus or -5 miles , this is a good value for the price @ $ 150 with taxes - the room is nothing fancy, but adequate equipped with a king size bed a small clean microwave a clean refrigerator a nice flatscreen TV with Comcast cable - most important all the bed linens and bath towels were crispy clean we pulled them back and the mattresses are clean - we didn’t have any disturbances and slept pretty good. The room did its job for us.
Was very happy with our stay. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

Room was clean and comfortable! Loved the amenities which was just what I needed and the staff was very nice! Would certainly stay again! Thanks so much!
They let me check in @9am after working night shift and that is very considerate of them. Good thing the room was available at that time. The room itself is clean and tidy. Has a refrigerator and microwave. Overall my stay was very comfortable!
Very nice for the price. The breakfast was simple, but perfect for us. A bagel with cream cheese, yogurt, fruit and coffee. The location was also nice and centralized for all of our outings. Our room was very comfortable.
Hotel was small but nice, and a good coffe shop across the street. It was clean, but I was disappointed that I found an apple core that had been left in the ice bucket. Service was friendly, will stay here again if we come back to the area.
