Very basic hotel, great front desk staff. Very friendly staff. Clean hotel, rooms were clean but in need of some minor repairs. The boxed breakfast is a great idea but could have some better options. We did enjoy that we didn’t have to go down to a room full of people in the morning for breakfast just wish there were better options to order from. Overall great stay for a quick overnight visit.

Beds and pillows awsome. Very comfortable. Very quiet. The man at the desk helped us carry luggage in seeing that the snow was so bad and I had 2 small children. Staff were asking every day if there was anything we needed, and if we were enjoying our stay. Gave suggestions for things the kids could do.

Great Place
It was a quick overnight stay prior to flying out of TVC. Aside from a few cobwebs above the bed on the ceiling, everything was great and would highly recommend to others.

We had a wonderful stay. Place was clean, bed was comfortable, and the person that checked us in was very pleasant. Close to plenty of restaurants and easy drive to whatever you are looking to do while in town.
