| - Pluses: The rooms are clean, quiet, reasonably furnished, and have comfy beds. The staff were friendly and helpful, even helping me card into my room with hands full of coffee and breakfast. The overall atmosphere is a winner.
Mehs: The hot breakfast looked rather "pre-fab", with preformed egg slabs. The meats looked edible, but I decided to pass that by in favor of a nearby restaurant. (Bad move on my part; read my other reviews.) The coffee was hot and plentiful, and the breads etc. were good. The sole cold-drink vending machine had no colas at all; Seven-Up, Dr Pepper, and water was it.
Minuses: The rate for our room was pretty steep for the quality of the room and the location of the hotel. (We also booked on fairly short notice, which might explain the rate.) If you're on the second floor, prepare to get some exercise when heading to the vending/ice machine. These are on the first floor, with the only access being stairwells on each end of the building. (The south stairway to the lobby is highly recommended, especially if the weather is inclement. The north stairway does not directly connect to the first floor; you exit the building and walk about ten feet to the first-floor entrance.)
Overall: If not for the price of the room, I'd have given a fourth star. I'd recommend booking a few weeks in advance, which is what I will do the next time my bride and I are in the area.
