Tournament? Great option

We stayed here for a lacrosse tournament and it seemed to be a “tournament hotel”. Lots of teams and a Conduct Commitment Document had to be signed at check in. The breakfast was good. They have a good laundry facility, ice on each floor, a VERY small pool (3’ deep) a jacuzzi and a 24/7 sundries/snack shop. Checked the right boxes for this trip.
Freshly ground and brewed coffee available in the lobby 24/7
You can lounge by the pool while you do your laundry $2 per load. Quarters only.
They have a pancake machine!!! Good bye bad waffles!!
Newer machines. Most average 25 minutes per cycle.

During our recent vacation, my husband and I decided on this hotel at the last moment, and we were exceedingly pleased with our choice, as the hotel was truly remarkable. The staff members were exceptionally professional and accommodating. Although we had booked through Expedia, and there was an initial issue with our preferred king-size bed, the two queen-size beds were a suitable alternative, and my husband and I were able to make the necessary adjustments. The hotel was remarkably clean and inviting. Should we return to this area, we would certainly choose this hotel again. The manager has clearly done an excellent job in maintaining this establishment.
