“I found the convenience of late check-in and individual room access particularly appreciated, with prompt responses to inquiries. The rooms, especially those by the river, offered comfortable beds and enjoyable riverfront rocking chairs, proving a solid value for a stay close to the college. While the pool was under renovation and breakfast information was inaccurate, the clean, well-appointed rooms with functional amenities like refrigerators and coffee pots stand out.”
