"The hotel is old and definitely needs updating, and it looked as though there is some construction going on. That said, the rooms were spotless and the staff could not have been nicer."

"The room was clean, the outside was well maintained, and the staff was super friendly. Plenty of places nearby to get food and groceries. Gas station next door as well. Did not have breakfast, Waffle House and an IHOP are close by so went and had breakfast over there. It looked like a standard breakfast spreadat the hotel, waffle maker, cereals, breads, eggs, and sausage. Did grab a few yogurts for a snack for later in the day. Overall, a very peaceful stay, they do have quiet time starting at 10pm which was nice cause there were a bunch of kids the 1st night."

"We only had a problem- and not insurmountable by any means. We had formal events in the evenings and the fact that the chest of drawers is installed inside the closet leaves little space for gowns, coats or dresses to hang. It is a bit of an awkward set-up for storing wardrobe for a longer trip. If there is ever a re-design, would love to see more space in the closet area. Everything else is A+"

"I always wipe the bathroom down at the very least when I get into a room and when I did it here there was nothing coming up! Clean from the toilet to the tub. Wiped the room down and it was the same. Pretty small room. Didn’t go to the restaurant. But liked the location as well. I normally catch the train in so now I know this place is right around the corner (5 minute walk). Paid for parking beforehand and it was the best decision they have a valet service. Checked out the concessions they had didn’t look interesting to me looked cold and unappealing, but there were many ppl buying food and coffee they serve Starbucks coffee (just the coffee, none of their food items). There is a fridge in the room and a microwave in the lobby."
