0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

This place is a dump and has bugs. All the rooms smell like smoke and the AC was broken, no refund partial or otherwise, the manger dodged my calls for a week. I called every day I still bug bites from this nasty place. Also, there is no breakfast. They put out a few containers of juice and a handful of prepackaged pastries.

Great: - this was the best bed I slept in my entire trip, it was very comfortable :) - staff person at the front desk was nice and helpful - although it's right on the main road, I wasn't bothered by road noise or light - the Maple Moose next door has good coffee and breakfast sandwiches (drive-through only) Accessibility note: there's no elevator, so if stairs are an issue I suggest calling to arrange a first floor room Disappointing: - breakfast was instant oatmeal or a pre-packed pastry, no protein options that I saw - no luggage cart

No one works here

No ac in the room and the staff refused to do anything about it. The manager dodges calls and i couldn’t sleep as it was over 90 degrees. The bathtub was visibly dirty, trash under the bed and in a drawer. No breakfast, just coffee and juice at 8:30 when I got there.
