This property charges a pet fee of $25 per night. It is currently going through renovation, but the room was clean and welcoming. On the negative side: Street noise, too much noise from the room above and the owners picked a very bad time to resurface the parking lot 😑.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Disliked: Amenities

Our room had a wonderful bed, king size, soft and just right firmness. The refrigerator was great to put our drinks in for the next day. Unfortunately, while they have been working on upgrading a few fixtures, the room badly needed a coat of paint. The floor had recently been redone and was good too. We weren't there for amenities or luxury so it did the job. Staff on check in was friendly and efficient. It looked like a great place for bikers on the AT a they had several things in the office for them.
