Breakfast every morning. Fruit, cereal, muffins, (even Pop tarts for the kiddos). Scrambled eggs, bacon, (sausage links, weekends), French toast sticks. Make your own waffles. Syrup, powered sugar, Nutella, jellies, Jif peanut butter. Yogurt, toast, bagels. Orange juice, milk, hot cocoa, coffee. That's just what I can remember.
The hotel was very clean, quiet and offered a great breakfast. Parking was minimal and very dark. Staff was friendly and courteous. The bathroom is very very small.
Excellent Staff even carried my luggage w/o me asking
Price can’t be beat
Bed & pillows great room large & huge tv

A/c old style window unit but worked well
Coffee fruit & muffins good didn’t try hot options
Really nice stay. Don't let the outside scare you away, It was an old officers quarters in WW1, it's a very nice hotel and the staff was very nice

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
There aren’t many amenities as far as a pool or fitness room but personally I don’t use these and I rather have a nice room space at a reasonable cost. Did include a large TV, a kitchen and nice large closet. Shower was very strong with immediate hot water. Elevator is not real convenient at the far end of the building but I was on the second floor which was easy to navigate by using the stairs. I would not hesitate to stay there again when I return to the area.
Amazing restoration of a local favorite. Here’s what you need to know: Pricing is fair, hotel is clean, staff is friendly, plenty of free parking. I’ll always book there!
It is a converted militarily barracks and not a fancy hotel. It is very nice inside and I will stay there again. I used the exercise room which also had the laundry machines. That room was plain, but I was working out and didnt need mirrors and fancy equipment. The breakfast had waffles, toast, cereals, scrambled eggs, sausage, fried potatoes, fruit, juice, coffee, etc. It was very good and I could choose what I wanted to eat. The staff were very nice to me.
Staff was wonderful. The property is pretty beaten though. A bit dumpy. But the beds and pillows were good. It was clean. So a mixed review - some good and some bad points.

The hallway is old and run down. But room is clean and comfy
It was outdated, not really maintained, bare necessities. Both mornings we came down around 7:45 to find no coffee. Nobody around to make more. One day we waited until 8:45 to get more coffee made. Most rooms were left pen on our floor. They were all dirty rooms.
The hotel was way understaffed.
The room was clean and comfortable, and very quiet. The staff was very polite and helpful. Very good breakfast. The area was kind of sketchy and rundown though. Good price for the hotel and I would stay again.
The front desk was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good eggs, potatoes, bacon, cereal, bagels, yogurt, juices, coffee, walfels.
Water and coffee in rooms.
Our only issue was a floor that looks like it missed being vacuumed.
I would recommend.
