Ruben, New York

Disliked: Amenities
The location of my room did not have any good views and the balcony on second floor was too tiny. If I had known the balcony/patio on 1st floor was bigger I would have chosen that. Also, when using HVAC unit all my allergies acted out, which tells me that the filter has not been cleaned out in who knows how long.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and while the room was comfortable, it had a slightly dark and worn appearance due to the old curtains, and it could have been cleaner. The bathtub had some hair in it, indicating it wasn't fully clean. The continental breakfast offered limited options and could use some enhancement. Overall, my stay was worth the price for that Monday night; however, I found the rate for the following night to be too high for the value offered. The location has great potential.
