This place is a dump and has bugs. All the rooms smell like smoke and the AC was broken, no refund partial or otherwise, the manger dodged my calls for a week. I called every day I still bug bites from this nasty place. Also, there is no breakfast. They put out a few containers of juice and a handful of prepackaged pastries.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Great:
- this was the best bed I slept in my entire trip, it was very comfortable :)
- staff person at the front desk was nice and helpful
- although it's right on the main road, I wasn't bothered by road noise or light
- the Maple Moose next door has good coffee and breakfast sandwiches (drive-through only)
Accessibility note: there's no elevator, so if stairs are an issue I suggest calling to arrange a first floor room
Disappointing:
- breakfast was instant oatmeal or a pre-packed pastry, no protein options that I saw
- no luggage cart

Check in girl could have been more friendly, no good parking for people with trailers. Had to park in the back not good lighting. There was trash outside the side entrance.
Great place to stay. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. Will stay there again. The breakfast was mostly packaged baked goods and cereal, yogurt and fruit were also available. The restaurant next door was very good!
No ac in the room and the staff refused to do anything about it. The manager dodges calls and i couldn’t sleep as it was over 90 degrees. The bathtub was visibly dirty, trash under the bed and in a drawer. No breakfast, just coffee and juice at 8:30 when I got there.
I had a one night stay which was very clean and comfortable.i would stay here again.

Unimpressed.
Every time I've stayed here the keys only work for one day and I have to keep getting them fixed. When I asked the person behind the counter about it they didn't give me an answer just a blank stare.
