The room was very clean & comfortable. I have to say the gentleman that checked us in was so polite & courteous. The gentleman I was traveling with was 85 years old and has Parkinsons. When he told me the room was on the second floor and there was no elevator, I winced. When I explained why he quickly changed us to room 101 & it was perfect.I wished I had gotten his name. He was so professional and friendly. Thank you!!

Location was good. Breakfast room was fair. But not as clean as it should have been. Ice machine was not working and had a Temporary out of order sign on it as did the washing machine and a few other things that were out of order for some time by looking at the condition of the tape and the signs they had been there awhile.

Comfortable visit

Our stay was ok. Pleasure trip during leaf peeping season. Beds were comfy. Room was ok. Breakfast questionable. Upon arrival the night before, the breakfast bread box was housed on the floor in the front desk area. The breakfast prep area for staff is a small closet that looked to be very unkept/unsanitary. This hotel is older and has been somewhat renovated. The ice water available at the front desk was wonderful. This property is near a beautiful walking/biking trail which we enjoyed. Not many staff working however those we ran across were pleasant.
