Near the college
Room was clean though tight quarters. Bathroom was equally small but clean. Good water pressure!

Breakfast was a very complete offering, and included scrambled eggs made that morning by the breakfast staff actually cracking eggs! Bed was comfortable, not sure that air conditioning unit was operating well: it got cool but was very moist in the room and the unit made some odd sounds. Staff was great, all that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Location is really good, walking distance to river and restaurants and city EV Chargers.

Great place, nice and clean and very accommodating. This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed. Great place for my dog. Lots of area to walk him and close to a park across the street.

Solid stay!
Everything was great. Loved the spacious lobby with lots of seating and light. The room was clean and comfortable. Sadly, they were clearly understaffed for breakfast service. Everything was constantly running out and no one was really cleaning tables or anything.
