​I'm writing to provide feedback on my recent stay at your hotel. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. ​The property was nice, clean, and felt well-maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and I really appreciate their excellent service. ​My only concern was the carpet in my room. It appeared to be quite old and had some noticeable stains, which detracted a bit from an otherwise excellent stay. ​Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It was adequate. I couldn't get a receipt, because the staff didn't give me one. I was told that Expedia would give me a receipt. It should not be hard to get a receipt (folio), as soon as you check out of a hotel. That is your record that you actually left everything intact and on time. I still need my receipt.

Room is nice and clean staff is good sure, but the entire corridor leading to our room has heavy foody smell which is irritating and it gets into air inside also even if we keep door tight closed.

I havent been in a room that i couldnt set the a/c to run continuous fan in longer than i can remember. Once it kicked off, all the noisy guest could be heard loud and clear. Along with their music. Woke us up most times it kicked back on as that unit i LOUD. Toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in WEEKS. It was the perfect room (208) if you're traveling with a big family. You could fit cribs, pack n play, cots just about whatever you wanted. Breakfast was good, but I'm not sure I'd stay at this one again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The young lady who checked me in was wonderful. The downside is that the bathroom floor was dirty. I stood on a towel, and the dirt that came off the floor was bad. Blood on the pillowcase. When reported to the front desk manager he did not seem to care. Forget breakfast the area was reasonably fit 5 or 6 people not an entire hotel.

Nice staff, nice location, clean and comfy

Great location by the Zucchini Festival for the weekend! It was so nice and clean inside the lobby and the rooms were also very clean and updated! Breakfast was way better than expected. Caitllin at the front desk was so helpful and friendly when we arrived and made us feel so welcome. The only negative was that a new Dunkin was being built right beside the hotel and wasn't open yet, lol!
