Pros:

There was little to no protein available anywhere in the breakfast. Eggs would really be appropriate to have, and easy to provide

Pros:

Clean, quiet, friendly staff.

Cons:

Coffee makers are dirty so it makes the coffee taste awful. The breakfast was cold, again, the coffee was terrible. Clean the coffee makers.

Enjoyed first floor room access, comfortable bed/pillows and breakfast had great options.
Pros:

Room set up and ease of taking bikes to first floor room

Cons:

Kind of getting in and out onto Main Street during high traffic time of day. Did not care for the coffee.

Nice hotel but it was overpriced because it was getting full and they increased the room rates.

Horrible price for a very loud room.
Cons:

The price was ridiculous for a tiny one bed hotel room. Price gouging because we heard a concert was in town. Shameful. $400 for a tiny room. The door connecting to the next room over was horrible. 4 ladies were so loud next door. The wood door separating us was useless. It was so LOUD!

Just felt like an older facility for the price. I’ve paid 100 less and got better, just saying.
