We stayed here for one night as we were doing some college tours, the beds were comfortable however the room cleanliness was poor as there was food crumbs all over the carpet, hair on the bathroom floor and shower. The breakfast bar had a couple of different options to choose from but the food did not taste freshly made. Overall it was good place to sleep and recover.

The staff was great and our room was spotless! We haven't stayed in a room as clean as long as I can remember and we were extremely happy with the breakfast the next morning. There were so many options to choose from and we were grateful that it started early at 6:30 since we had driven up for a Dr. appointment scheduled for 7:00 a.m. We definitely will stay here again if needed!
