I attempted to keep my reservation with this property but was told they didn't have my requested room and that everything was dirty and not ready (at 3pm). While i was there no fewer than 4 State Police cars pulled in for a reason i do not know. The front desk clerk was totally useless.

The hotel itself was good, but they recently changed the policy and will require employees to come into the rooms even if there’s a no disturb sign. I will not return there

I would recommend this property to anyone. The room was large, had a full fridge, dishwasher, fully stocked kitchen. The mattress was just right for us. Room was super clean and the bathroom very nice. The parking was great. I appreciate the extra large parking spots. We were just passing through for one night but this is a gem.
