This Hotel was very nice, conveniently located right off I-95. The staff was polite and welcoming. The room was perfect. I was traveling with a senior dog that had mobility issues and they were very accommodating. I was able to get a room on the first floor close to an exit. I will definitely use them again. Thank you

This hotel is clean, minimalistic and modern. My issues with the hotel are small and should not deter from the overall experience. Issue 1 - the buttons for the elevator are strangely placed at the side of the door not on the front panel where there is a button but does not work. The front desk should mention that rather than have guests go back and ask. Or put a sign on the elevator. The luggage carts are awkward. the base where you put your luggage is shaped in a "V". It was not big enough to hold all of my boxes, bags, and suitcase. Also, it was difficult to manuver.

It is kinda off the beaten path but not too far out from downtown. The breakfast was good, the interior was clean but the outside area could use some sprucing up. The food didn’t have a whole lot of storage or a closet even but ample for a weekend getaway.

Breakfast was delicious and ample fresh items displayed. Only change I would make is with the plastic utensils. The knives and spoons were in plastic covering, but the forks were not. It was difficult to take one without touching someone else’s fork.
