Easy check in. Rooms x02-x10 are on the street side with some traffic noise. The others are on the rear-parking-lot side. Clean. Comfortable. Came with 2 free drink coupons (draft or wine with 4 options for “red”). Nice bar. Continental breakfast was very basic. Nothing fancy overall but well-priced and convenient to town and SU. Would stay again!

This property is in the town way off interstate. It was very dirty and old. It looks like they are trying to fix it up but still looks old. Not a place I would stay again

This was the third time we stayed at this property. It just average. They parking spaces are very tight with dark areas. But we knew that before. What I didn't like was we went down for breakfast of powdered eggs around 8:30 and were locked out of our room. The front desk had to issue is new keycards.

Staff is friendly, beds nice. I liked the smaller pillows with both foamier and softer filling. The room was clean, but the bathroom tub area needs an upgrade. We also thought the Ugrill restaurant right in the building was convenient and nicely priced.

Lobby was nice. Everything else was very dated. Mediocre describes the rooms and furniture. Very little water pressure in shower. Room was humid. Vents were dirty. Shower was old. Would not recommend to friends or family.
