The two times I needed to go to the front desk in the evening, agent was outside the front door smoking. I appreciated the toothpaste, having forgot our own. 3 small tables in foyer for "breakfast area" that had expired yogurt and stale bread.

Stay was good but the breakfast area was really small. Luckily there wasn’t a bunch of people staying at that time or it would have been virtually undoable. These hotels should understand that if you provide a good breakfast in a comfortable environment people will be way more contented and will come back.

I like this property because it’s always clean and the staff is extremely friendly. The area is walkable and lots of restaurants nearby. It’s an older place so needs a bit of tlc here and there but overall wonderful

Good price, great location
Hotel is good for the price. Great location near the college with lots of restaurants and other businesses nearby. Rooms were clean, beds are ok and we did not experience any issues. The breakfast could be better but again its a lower price hotel. This will be funny to most but simply changing to a better syrup would greatly improve the breakfast. 😁

It's a good location and close to everything. However if you are a light sleeper this isn't for you. You can hear everything walls are very thin and same with the ceiling. People come in at different times in the night and you can hear them. Good options for breakfast nothing fancy but you will find something you'll like.
