The room was very clean and was equipped with a kitchenette and large TV. The staff were super friendly and kind, and they check up on you to see if everything’s okay. Facilities were great and the gym is 24/7 which is even better. Beyond happy with the stay!

I admit I wasn't expecting much, but got so much more for my stay here! Very friendly staff, easy check in, and safe parking was what met me on my arrival. The free breakfast every morning was a bonus! Having a Train station right across the street was also absolutely perfect. I got to try out some really good local diners and foods just a short walk away. I will most definitely be staying here again.

Other than the pancake machine, breakfast was nothing more that a continental breakfast. The carpet in the hallways were loose and caused for major tripping hazards which could be dangerous for anyone with even minor mobility/agility issues. For some reason the elevator refused to come to our floor during checkout. We were able to take the stairs but it was concerning for the seniors stuck on our floor with all their luggage. They had to complain 2x before staff were sent to help. There were only two pillows on the bed which were extremely uncomfortable. The only positive note I have is that at least our room and the lobby area was clean.

The property was nice and clean. The break first was decent. Price was right. The train goes very close to the property and think it could keep some people awake as it does shake a bit. But it didn’t bother us as we are use to noice and we were vary tired after long days. The parking can get full at nights, but I always found parking even thought it was not right next to the room.
