This is a former motel that has been renovated to resemble more of today’s boutique style. Room was very nice and clean. Good value. We had a pizze delivered from a place in Watertown, I believe? Really good pizza, I think the front desk recommended.

The property was surprisingly high quality; and the staff was above-and-beyond pleasant, kind and helpful. It was a full night, and parking was a tad tricky but in the end not that bad. Really it's the staff that will have me coming back to this location!

Clean and spacious room, I liked the extra large vanity especially. The only thing I didn’t like was that there wasn’t much lighting in the room, it was dark in the evenings even with all the lamps on.

Limited maid service. They only change towels/sheets every 4th day. We only stayed 2 nights, so maid service never came to the room, not even to make the bed!
