I came for a visit in January in Canton... and it was extremely cold at the time. There is not much going on in Canton at that time. I was just dropping my kid off at college. It's a decent place to stay, and I appreciated the fireplace as I walked into the lobby. There was a bar open, though I didn't partake. I just wanted to sleep, and that was just perfect. Got a great rest.
