Everything was perfect about the trip however I got a phone call at 11 PM about moving my car and I was trying to enjoy the music festival I was attending, but other than that everything else is good.

Jail cell
It’s misleading I believe I was getting a more modern room with more space when we walked in. It was so small. The door hit the bathroom door coming in. It’s only open halfway. The room looks like a jail cell. The only thing nice about it. Was the very tiny updated bathroom… will not be back.

Light sleepers should avoid at all costs
If you are a light sleeper, avoid this place. Right next to a busy main street that people speed up and down all night long in addition to a train that that dings consistently. Room was super bright at night because the shutters don't block much light. I had the only room with an extremely bright light just outside of the bathroom window that spilled even more light into the room even with the barn door closed. I slept with an eye mask and ear plugs and was still awaken all night. But the biggest issue was the mattress. Pretty sure an elephant has slept in the middle of this bed for this last 10 years.
The grounds and room were very clean. Staff was great.

Very convenient spot. A little noisy but we ran the air all night and it covered it well.
Not a fancy place but parking included and walking distance to lots of places.
