I really wanted to like this place as it's very convenient but it just was okay. The room was not clean, sheets and towels were stained. The heat was not great, the hotel just felt tired. Nice to have good wifi and hot water. The highlight was the staff, super friendly and helpful. You could not ask for better staff.

The property was surprisingly high quality; and the staff was above-and-beyond pleasant, kind and helpful. It was a full night, and parking was a tad tricky but in the end not that bad. Really it's the staff that will have me coming back to this location!

This is a former motel that has been renovated to resemble more of today’s boutique style. Room was very nice and clean. Good value. We had a pizze delivered from a place in Watertown, I believe? Really good pizza, I think the front desk recommended.
