Stayed here for my wedding. Elevator was broken but staff helped with our bags to the top floor and they were very friendly and helpful. Clean hotel room, great free breakfast with a cool pancake machine. I would stay here again. Very close to walk anywhere you would like for food drinks etc. if you’re here on a Saturday perfect spot to stay and go to the Troy’s farmers market.

Great place, nice and clean and very accommodating. This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed. Great place for my dog. Lots of area to walk him and close to a park across the street.
