Complessivamente buona sistemazione.
Pros:

Soggiornato 1 notte al ritorno da Boston. Posizione ottima appena fuori dalla IS. Zona abbastanza servita da attività commerciali, ottimo parcheggio.
Al check inn problema con la carta di credito, risolto mediante la disponibilità della signora Kim e di un ragazzo di cui conosciamo il cognome:Ferrara.

Cons:

Colazione scarsa, da migliorare.

Go place to rest overnight
Pros:

Reasonable prices, good proximity to the interstate, next to a Perkins is a plus.

Cons:

It would be nice if there was a back way to get into the rooms, without having to walk my dog through the front lobby or the breakfast area.
