Amazing atmosphere, fantastic free continental breakfast. It felt like I went to England. I felt safe, the room was clean and the front desk staff was wonderful, both for check in and check out, and handled the check in issues with my payment in a good, professional, friendly way.

I loved the decor, let’s start there! Check in was very fast and friendly. Parking was shockingly easy. Hotel location is perfect - it’s close to the expressway, gas station nearby and food options on site as well as in close proximity. We will definitely be back! The one thing I wanted to do, I didn’t get a chance to during this visit. No worries we will be back and will make time for outdoor chess!!

Always a fun vibe

I’ve stayed here before and enjoyed it. Though on this trip the bathroom lights were hidden behind a rack of towels so I did a lot of in the dark grooming. Lol Love the location. Love the weird vibe. Love the pub. And the Italian restaurant next door was yummy—packed though so make a reservation.
