The rooms are very comfortable. The toilet and shower are separate from the sink. I love that! Great internet and cable. The property is next to, in my humble opinion, the best restaurant in Williston. Plus it is close to shopping. The rooms were quiet as well. I didn’t hear any road noise. Also the breakfast was delicious and had enough choices for most dietary needs.

Only one thing: no USB ports in the room. That would have made it perfect.

Loved the art deco lobby in this hotel. Our room was on the ground floor. A bit dated but clean and comfortable and it appeared the bathroom had been updated. Staff were very polite and friendly. Breakfast was very good. Williston Brewery Company is co-located with this property and we had a very nice meal there.

Nothing - would stay here again.

Cool older Travel Lodge. Ample parking. Hotel is connected to a Restaurant/Brewery. Rooms are spacious and quiet. Comfortable beds.

No elevator. Breakfast was provided but it wasn’t great.

The lobby was very nice and the staff made me feel welcome. Great location. The room was super quiet with very comfy beds.

The room that they gave me first was still occupied. The carpet in the room was in need of a good vacuum.

The room was huge! Very clean except outside the door was a lot of cigarette butts. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. I would stay again.

Nothing that I can really think of.

The location was convient to our plans for the weekend. One of the reasons for staying was that I had worked in the establishment 25 years earlier and was interested in visiting the location. The breaskfast was nice and the rooms were impressive.

Continental breakfast gave several options to chose from. It was a clean area and friendly staff.

We were placed outside with an exit door to parking lot. Would prefer an indoor room, which we will request next time. It was still a great price and the rooms were clean.
