Great weekend stay
Conveniently located, although I missed the entrance the first time through. My room was large and clean. "Continental breakfast" can mean many things; in this case it included a wide variety of bagels, muffins and pastries as well as a waffle maker, fruit, yogurt, cereal and hard boiled eggs. Mediocre coffee. Staff was efficient and helpful, common areas welcoming.

Lovely
I just loved that it was not a cookie-cutter chain hotel. It has personality. The free breakfast had good options and was in a lovely, sunny room. Location was perfect for us.
