Breakfast was well stocked and maintained. Food was very good as well. Room was quiet and dark enough at night to get a good night's sleep. Would definitely recommend for the price.

Breakfast was decent. Clean but old property. Good for a night or two. Reasonable price. Parking lot is bad. No lines so people kind of park everywhere.

Everything was very clean other than the carpet. It was on the sticky side. It s time for replacing rather than trying to keep cleaning. Everyone I encountered was very friendly, and the breakfast was hot.

The property is old and rundown. For example, the ice machine was moldy and produced ice with noticeable chunks of mold in the cubes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The nightly rate was reasonable, but likely not stay there if returning to Watertown.
