"Older property, its needs a bit of an updating. Clean and quiet room. Lack of an elevator can be a bother if you have to carry luggage up a flight of stairs. The front desk staff were very professional, friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcomed. We would stay here again."

"Our room was very spacious but spartan, no mini-fridge or microwave. The bed and linen were very comfortable and clean. The traffic noise was not a factor even though we faced the highway. The front desk staff member was efficient and friendly. The best part of our stay was the two meals we had in the dining room. Both times our meals were very tasty and well-presented. The dining room staff were minimal and did their best serving everyone. The price of the room made the accommodation a bit of a bargain. We would stay here again."
