Quiet, yet convenient location
Many guests appreciate the hotel's location just outside of the town center, noting that is convenient to the highway yet set back on a dead-end street so traffic noise is a non-issue. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance, and charming Main Street is about five minutes away in the car.

Not the best fit for the fit..
Active travelers note that the fitness room is small and fairly basic. The indoor swimming pool is also on the small side, and several guests have noted it "looks much bigger in the photos.".
negative:
Light sleepers, take note..
Several guests have found the walls too thin for quiet and privacy, noting that they can overhear their neighbors speaking at a normal volume next door and in the hallways. Some also find the plumbing a bit noisy.
negative:
Bathrooms on the small side..
Several guests describe the bathrooms as small and note that the vanity area adjoins the bedroom, with the shower and toilet only behind the door. Some guests find this layout very inconvenient.
