Nice staff, nice location, clean and comfy
Great location by the Zucchini Festival for the weekend! It was so nice and clean inside the lobby and the rooms were also very clean and updated! Breakfast was way better than expected. Caitllin at the front desk was so helpful and friendly when we arrived and made us feel so welcome. The only negative was that a new Dunkin was being built right beside the hotel and wasn't open yet, lol!

The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was a standard hotel breakfast, but prepared very well so we were very pleased. The water pressure was the only thing lacking in both the shower and toilet.

Very comfortable, clean, great breakfast
Clean, comfortable, nice staff, breakfast was excellent and bean to cup coffee was so good.
The only problem was the air conditioner was very noisy and well not on the hotel but the highway noise was a bit much at time. I used ear plugs.
