    Good place

    Well, there was nothing special about the treatment that our dog got while we were staying in this hotel. I will say that the hotel was clean and they were accommodating when we were in initially put in a room that did not have a Jacuzzi that we had reserved. Everything went well during the trip and the price was great. I would definitely stay there again.

    Hot tub and fireplace for $80

    Quiet, friendly, cheap…. plenty of spots for food. Dunkin and a market are a two minute walk away. Fido was happy.

    Peaceful and extremely clean

    On a recent road trip, we stayed at a number of hotels at different price points. This hotel stands out, with a lush green landscaping, very quiet, extremely clean, wonderful bed linens, and the best breakfast one would want without having to go out. It’s not in the downtown district but close enough to enjoy the nightlife and come back for a restful sleep. We would definitely stay here again.
