Hotel is in an excellent location within walking distance from many attractions. We didn’t even need to rent a car except the day we drove to Niagara Falls and even the car rental place was within walking distance. Rooms are equipped with a full kitchen and kitchen utensils. Breakfast buffet every morning did not disappoint but arrive earlier than later as it gets more busy later. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful with knowledge of the city, its sights and how to get there. Would...

I would highly recommend this hotel for the price, convenience, comfort , cleanliness and capable and friendly staff.

The hotel was excellent we drove from Virginia, and it was better than the pictures and the reviews. The parking was tight hard to find a spot. when we arrived on 7/26/2025 late that night, we were greeted by a gentleman with an awesome Kangol cap. He was extremely warm, helpful, patient, and very knowledgeable of the facility. I like the fact he took time to ensure our comfort after a 13 hour drive. The next night 7/27/2025 a beautiful young lady assisted us on connecting to the Wi-Fi. We were...
