Stayed in the hotel several days a week over the last 6 weeks. Staff very nice and accommodating. Rooms are large. Beds are comfortable. However, the hotel showing clear signs of wear and tear and can use sprucing up and deep cleaning. Water pressure especially on the second floor is just bad. For unknown reason, the water pressure on the third floor is much better.

This is a great place to stay when visiting the college. Super easy to park your car and leave when you need. It’s a seven minute walk to the admissions office. The fitness room is small but has all of the right equipment and everything works. The walls are a little thin, you can definitely hear hallway chatter and doors closing. But most people staying here are not here to party so everyone’s very respectful. The bathrooms are a little tired looking but well maintained. The property doesn’t have washers and dryers but there’s a small laundromat down the street that’s easy to walk to and has everything you need. Stop by the unassuming co-op across the street for a quick bite or drink while waiting. I loved that the hotel offered local coffee…except when they ran out before I grabbed a cup on my last day.

Elevator needs to be repaired. It has been months and carrying bags up three flights of stairs is inconvenient. Other than this is issue, Inn is fine.

Hotel room and bathroom were very nice. Close to train and college. One restaurant on site, but limited choices otherwise. A few local coffee shops, breakfast or lunch spots and one wine bar. Not ver accommodating for request for 1-hour late check-out even though hotel and parking lot were empty.
