Stayed for 4 days with family. Enjoyed our stay. Hotel room was clean and spacious. Lot of room to sleep and move around. Located in downtown area, close to key attractions, shopping, food etc., and the bus stop was literally at the entrance.

We had a nice stay. Our room fit our 1 night need with a family of 4. A little noisy as we were on the first floor and it was Saturday night. That said check in and departure were seamless. Location is EXCELLENT right in the middle of midborough and close to everything.
