Everything was very clean. It was a nice place to stay last minute overnight with a great price. Just off of Main Street so there were many restaurants within walking distance. The gated parking was easy to access and nice security. The door lock was also easy and convenient to use. I would stay here again.

I’m from the area and was in town for a family function. When I arrived, I noticed half the lights above the sink were out as well as a floor lamp by the door. I texted the manager (with whom o had texted prior and received a response) but did not receive a response during my trip. Also noticed the fire alarm had no battery - did not notify due to no response earlier. Also the refrigerator was configured in a way, that when I bet down to get something from the bottom, I smacked my head on the clothes rack as I stood up (this happened numerous times). I also wasn’t pleased with the A/C unit, but that could be that the temps were very mild. Otherwise, the location is great - very close to the river for morning walks and the many restaurants and stores on Main Street. Easy in and out of the parking lot. If staying with family is not available, I will most likely return but choose a different room.

Great location, convenient and quick check-in, clean bed and bathroom. A few negatives were that the room was dimly lit, the tv didn’t work and the room had an unpleasant smell.
