My door on room 208 was not sealing properly along the latch area. Had a large gap to door frame, which allowed the 20 degree air blow into the room.

Great price for being in a popular area for tourism. A true motel with parking in front of your door. Very clean! Includes hot continental breakfast with a few tables and chairs. We decided to grab and go back to our motel room to have breakfast.

Although a little dated for our personal taste, it was clean and quiet and provided a comfortable bed and hot shower. Pleasantly surprised. We did not wake in time for breakfast in the lobby.
