Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It is a cute cosy place, and near some rustic shops. But it has its problems. Check in was online via emailed link. Worked, but was confused by advertising. Room entry was by keypad. Took some getting used to. Breakfast bar was not well thought out. After same baked good for 3 days, some were not edible. Milk for cerial was not labled, some was actually half and half. Also, there is a trip hazard right in front of the breakfast bar. Almost everyhone trips on it the first time they approach the bar.

Bang for the buck

What a room! The only reason for the four stars was the carpet looked old and dirty. The room was nice it felt like being in a b&b. Todd was great checking in super attentive and the hotel was really detailed about how to access your room if you got in after 10pm. Best room I stayed in on my 8 day east coast stay.

Clean, comfortable and inexpensive.

Clean, comfortable, inexpensive, and perfect location if you're touring Longwood Gardens. Multiple food choices that are an easy walk across the parking lot or road (busy but with a traffic light that's not out of the way for pedestrian crossings).

Nice building. Not great service!

Choice the option to pay at hotel as my friend and I split it. 48 hours prior to check in they charged my card causing bank fee. When I brought it up they said it was their policy to charge 48 hour then turned around blamed it on Hotels.com for charging my card. Waffle maker didn’t work and kicker, when I asked maid for towel she stated “no speak English”.

Nice but Quirky

This is a nice hotel. Two things: they need to up their coffee game. All they have are the pots on warmers and no lids for larger size cups. Also no juice machine… just a small refrigerator to keep glass pitchers cold. Not a whole lot of breakfast choices. No one mans the desk at night so of course no fresh coffee. Nice small gym. No microwave in room but there is a large breakfast room open all the time so you can use the one in there.

Great place near Longwood Gardens.

A very quick trip to meet friends at Longwood Gardens, so the hotel was just a place to hang our hat for 1 night. The hotel was clean and looked somewhat newly upgraded. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy. Continental breakfast was fine. Easy to check in with a key code sent by text prior to our arrival , although there was staff at the front desk.
