Stayed for one night. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was just OK, quality and selection could have been better. Our room was clean and well furnished, the bed was ok. Heat/ac unit was noisy, but worked well. Overall our stay was good, would stay here again.

Best value in New England! Staff is supportive and site is super clean. Decor is nice. Comfy beds. Subpar breakfast but who cares?! Free coffee, and the food is a bonus... and again, you can't beat the value!
