Very clean hotel. Laminate flooring in rooms, so no germy carpeting. The bathroom mirror had a defogger which was nice. I like that the towel bar was right next to shower, so I didn't have to reach way out to get my towel. Breakfast was decent, waffles, sausage, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, a nice assortment of bagels and other types of bread. I just wish that the food on the steam table had been warmer. There are nice seating areas inside and outside. I enjoyed sitting outside with a book.

I forgot to note that I was allergic to feathers on my reservation. I got into the room and all but 2 pillows had feathers. The woman behind the front desk fixed that issue when we were out for a concert . I really appreciated the service.

Wonderful stay. Area is quiet. Facility was very clean and well appointed. Desk staff was friendly and attentive. Breakfast selection and roomy dining area was better than most. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Room had a microwave and small refrigerator. Huge updated bathroom was greatly appreciated.This hotel is at the edge of town so it would be a bit of a jaunt to area restaurants and shops if walking. There was ample parking and we actually preferred the location to others in the area. First stay in the area. Will definitely stay here again if returning.
