The bed was very comfortable, the room nice and somewhat spacious. Unfortunately, our room was the 1st one on the hallway. We could hear any conversation in the hallway, next to us or above us, the walls and floor were so thin. Luckily, they have a prominently posted Quiet Policy, so we got a good night's sleep--plus we were there in the winter, so it wasn't full. The restaurant just across the parking lot looked decent, but we decided to eat somewhere else.

Good value for the price.

My second floor room was great- nice beds and updated. First floor is being worked on so a little disheveled. No breakfast but I think that’s reflected in the prices. Overall was a solid place to stay.

It was nice to have a dining option across the parking lot from hotel, but the walk across the lot was very icy. The room was clean & comfortable, but very noisy! Between the noisy fridge (which we finally unplugged) and the voices/noise from the hallways it made sleeping almost impossible. We checked out early the next morning & were still charged for the 2nd night. Even though we told them it was too loud to get any sleep.
