5/5 Excellent

Traveled with group
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was excellent and our stay went well. Breakfast was on par with most places, but wasn't anything spectacular. The only issue I had was with parking. When you park in the lot, you have to sign in and purchase your parking online. Unfortunately, the parking is not linked with the hotel, so you need to purchase your parking each day or you will be charged an additional $10 fee like I was. I spoke with the person at the desk to let him know that it would be quite helpful if the hotel would alert people to the parking process.

Front desk staff were friendly. This is a motel-level hotel. Low priced, so you get what you pay for. If you just need a place to sleep for the night and aren't looking for luxury, it's an OK stay next to the train station. Walking distance to restaurants and the XL Center. Bushnell Park is across the street.
