Very open, clean and inviting...even a welcome bar in the lobby. Rooms beds & bedding were great-tho bigger pillows would have been appreciated. Breakfast was very good. Prices were good. A tiny bit difficult to find but worth the effort.

I was very disappointed with breakfast for the first time. I’ve stayed many times before and it was always good. Today they had cold hash browns, no eggs, crumbled up sausage or a good selection of bagels. What they had was hard and impossible to cut. Always before there was omelets snd whole sausage patties or links.
