Little escape

It was a quick overnight stay, the room was nice. Area safe enough to walk a few blocks to get dinner (college town). Only had an issue with my door and lock (it worked but very difficult), I let them know at checkout and they emailed later that it was fixed. I would definitely go back!

Highly recommend this stay

We got in very late but were greeted by the sweet and amazing Maddy! We also sadly had to leave early in the morning, but our short stay was very cozy.

Stayed here before that room was great that’s why I came back. This time the room is horrible stains on the wall, wall paper peeling, a/c/heater sounded like it has marbles in it. Mini fridge never got cold no microwave. When I checked in the staff was great. I’ll say something when I check out. Disappointed….

Very old. Floors need replacing. Beds were small. The door was drafty so the heater kept running. The train is loud and comes often.

Ms Lynne, who was staffing the registration desk when I checked-in, was a wonderfully hospitable person. She was personally engaging and welcoming...and should be commended for her efficiency and knowledge of the area.

4/10 Fair

The front desk staff were extremely friendly. We found cleaning rags on one of the beds and there was a lot of hair in the tub. We were concerned about the railroad that ran close to the property, but we were tired and only heard trains a couple of times through the night.

Clean and easily accessible laundry facilities. Warm and welcoming front desk staff. Able to get coins for the laundry at the front desk.

6/10 Good

Didn’t like the proximity to the active freight train line. Carpet seemed to have a residue on it - possibly from cleaning. Sink tap handle was loose and had to fiddle with it to change water temperature.

Front desk clerk rude

Check in was a nightmare with an extremely rude front desk clerk. She turned a small miscommunication problem regarding what forms of payment they accept into a major ordeal. A simple we don’t take Apple Pay would have sufficed. Not who I would want representing my company. So my initial impression was that this hotel was not welcoming in the least. The room was decent as was the pool. We had no further problems during the rest of our stay.
