The heat did not work! We had the room set at 80° and still slept with hoodies socks and all the blankets! Also, the elevator barely worked and traveling up and down the stairs with large luggage was not ideal.

The rooms could have been cleaner. The walls, the carpet, the corners in the bathroom were all needing to be wiped down. The staff is pleasant. It’s a nice area- not to hectic or unpleasant

Good for a one night stay. Room was clean. My only complaint was very small parking lot so we had to park in the overflow.

Good value

It was friendly and clean, breakfast was fine. Better than other recent hotels we’ve stayed in. The toilet was a little fussy and there was an icy area outside that needed salted better. I wish they wouldn’t charge $12/day for their own parking lot but could be worse.
