The check-in and access to property was very convenient. The property and room was very clean and very spacious. Appreciated the in-room fridge and plenty of drawer space to unpack. Worth mentioning is no on-site iron or ironing board but was able to make do without it. Staff was VERY responsive to text and call. Parking was great and loved the coffee shop on premises. Property is situated along a functioning railroad and there is the occasional train passing through that will rattle the entire building - no known schedule or regularity. Despite that I only experienced 1 train that came through at midnight during my 2-night stay and I would definitely stay again.
