Room was clean and comfortable. Shower curtain needs either replaced or cleaned. It was orange at the bottom. It had snowed/iced and no attempt had been made to clear the parking lot so it was very slippery. Some of the sidewalks were partially cleared. Breakfast was actually good. We don’t usually eat hotel breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.
