Not too Grand
Hotel is located in a serene neighborhood with a pond and is spacious. However its noticeable vacancy was concerning and the hotel felt eary and ghostly (noticed not more than 2-6 guests in the hotel and restaurant combined during our 3 night stay). Hotel needs to upgrade their carpet flooring which has had its share of spills and stain marks on it. Room was clean, however upon arrival we found a pair of sucks laying on the floor inside the room and in front of its small refrigerator which presumably belonged to previous room guest. Central air conditioning makes constant clunking and jerking noise every time it starts or stops which prevents a quiet sleep also. Front desk staff was friendly and accommodated us for parking.

Family Get Away
Our room was clean and smelled fresh. We had a junior suite which was perfect because we had our son with us. There’s a pony wall dividing the small living area with a fold out couch, where our son slept, from the bedroom area. Both areas had TVs. It was the perfect set up. Also, they have a little marketplace dining area for snacks, breakfast sandwiches and coffee/tea. It was a perfect grab and go before leaving for the day. We were close to the train station, so it was easy to go to the city.
