There is no elevator to the 2nd floor. The breakfast was very crowded, running out of seating and coffee. The line for waffles was too long for us to get waffles (at least a 20 minute wait time). The room itself was clean, with a laminate floor.

Best breakfast ive had!!

Pretty comfortable stay. First of all, this hotel had the best breakfast ive had at any hotel!! Home cooked breakfast every morning!!! Not the usual hotel breakfast!! The 2 ladies working in the kitchen area are the nicest people you ever gonna meet. The hotel it self was great. Very quiet. I had a 3 night stay and i heard nothing at all. Room was nice. Bathroom could use some updating. Plenty of food options nearby. Staff at the desk was great as well. I would definitely stay here again.

My principal complaint is I checked in around 6 PM and the hotel was still half empty. I asked for an inside room or a second level room and was told the hotel was completely booked. There’s no way every room on the second floor was occupied when I checked in nor was there anyway that the rooms on the inside were 100% occupied. Most of the rooms on the second floor were dark when I checked in. Just a bit aggravated that they were so accommodating. I’ll not stay there again.
