"Nicely appointed hotel! Room was great…as was the service! Breakfast was above average. The internet was down during our stay, which was due to the storm. The only disappointment was that there was a $20 charge for parking. I had not read that…and there was no option. Overall, it was great…"

The property had poor sound control and lighting. I had a window facing the street with light flooding in during the evening making it difficult to sleep, however, the property location is excellent and cleanliness was 10/10 as well. If you have your own ear plugs and they put in black out shades, this place would be better
