Room was very clean. Staff very friendly. Decent breakfast with cereals and croissants. Our room was facing Rte 18 and it was a bit noisy which is understandable with all the construction on the road. Would stay again.

Room is clean but the noise from Route 18 made it an uncomfortable night. If you are light sleeper, it is not recommended here but for one night, it's do-able. There's practically little to no hot water. The breakfast option is ok.
