The room was ok for just a few hours of sleep but we didn’t even get that. We were on the bottom floor and there was a crack head above us doing gymnastics or only God knows what all night. We got maybe a few hours of sleep

Clean, but unfortunate

The structure itself was nice, but our room had so many issues. The only outlet in the room that worked was near the sink, the WiFi didn’t work, the breakfast is a jimmy dean frozen breakfast sandwich the front desk hands you, no ice machine so you also have to get that from the front desk and none of the windows open

While the room was clean and the beds comfortable, the price was high for this location. Breakfast “included” meant a grab n go bag with a frozen breakfast sandwich, a fruit cereal bar and a bottle of juice. Had to pay for a bottle of water with breakfast. A snow storm had been through the night before and the property still had not been plowed. The heat was hard to regulate in the room - it was either cold or too hot. Staff were pleasant. Not a horrible place to stay for a one night passing through situation, but I wouldn’t recommend staying longer.
