i was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It was very clean and quiet. The hospitality staff were very friendly. The room was in great condition and the bathroom was plenty roomy. The fitness center was sparse, but the treadmill worked and I appreciated that they kept the temperature down so you weren't dying from the heat.

This hotel is well-maintained and staffed, and is ideally located at the edge of the historic downtown area, which is full of classic buildings and row houses. There is a very lively Dinosaur BBQ right across the street, and other restaurants nearby. Visiting Troy is an unexpected treat!
