Nice hotel in a convenient place. I stayed with my medium-sized dog. We paid a pet fee. The breakfast was fine, but even at 6:30 am, they were out of fruit and yogurt. Relatively quiet hotel. There is a restaurant across the street.

Room was disappointedly dirty and the bed (although comfortable), squeaked loudly every time you moved. Breakfast was equally bad; the French Toast could have been used as a hockey puck it was so hard - broke my plastic fork trying to cut it!
