This hotel is well-maintained and staffed, and is ideally located at the edge of the historic downtown area, which is full of classic buildings and row houses. There is a very lively Dinosaur BBQ right across the street, and other restaurants nearby. Visiting Troy is an unexpected treat!

Great location to everything you’d want in TROY. Steps away from the Riverwalk with access to several waterfront restaurants. Bus stop right outside property. Location, location, location. Large assortment for breakfast (included). Fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, burritos, eggs, bacon, links, potatoes, bagels, toast, cereal, coffee, juice, all the toppings you could think of. Top notch. Great for hotel quality. Only thing I didn’t like was no coffee pot in room, but so many shops nearby.
