Great hotel, lovely rooms, exceptional staff!

Very kind staff, accommodating, friendly! Special shout out to Andrea who is seriously so kind and helpful! Rooms are laid out super well for remote work for two people. Breakfast is better than average. We even found a free college soccer match within walking distance! Area isn't bad at all, kind of urban/college vibe. Lots of people out and about, lots of things to do!

Great little home away from home for a few days

Excellent parking, room, and breakfast. Close/centralized to everything we needed. Construction with detours to get there was a little annoying, but it wasn't the hotel's fault.
