Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at the desk were helpful and checking in and out was fast and easy. My room was clean, quiet, and spacious. I only stayed one night, just to have a bed and a shower, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The property looked nice and spacious as well. I think it should be advertised more clearly that the hotel is right next to some train tracks. I didn't mind them passing by, but others might not like the noise.

Highly recommend this stay

We got in very late but were greeted by the sweet and amazing Maddy! We also sadly had to leave early in the morning, but our short stay was very cozy.

Don’t Stay Here

It’s outdated, has a mildew smell as soon as you open the door, and it’s got an infestation of centipedes. I regret having to write this but my stay was very unpleasant

Little escape

It was a quick overnight stay, the room was nice. Area safe enough to walk a few blocks to get dinner (college town). Only had an issue with my door and lock (it worked but very difficult), I let them know at checkout and they emailed later that it was fixed. I would definitely go back!
