Great location, good free parking. Room was comfortable, shower was great. Comfortable common areas. Would be perfect for a family event. Breakfast was a little disappointing. Cereals, bagels, coffees, teas, packaged baked goods. More fresh fruit and maybe a fresh baked item and warm options would have been nice. Thank you, Frank, for a very nice stay!

Our room was clean, the staff was helpful.Tracie was fantastic, Frank made a good note regarding the password for Wi-Fi, the quiet times, break fast hours and so on which was very important. However, there was some kind of bad odor at the first floor by the entrance which should be addressed asap. Since the weather was cool and rainy, we did not worry about air conditioning. There are a few shops nearby.
