This hotel was very clean and quiet. Convinient location, right off of the inerstate, which made getting around Carlisle easy. The room was decent in size and amenities offered. In room microwave, mini fridge, and keurig coffee machine. The complimentary breakfast was great. It was hot breakfast items and the coffee was by far the best I have had at a hotel. It has Costa brand coffee which was brewed with fresh coffee beans ground to make individual cups. Will be my choice when I return to this area to visit family and friends.

Friendly staff, conveniently located right off the highway. I would try to get a room on the front side of the hotel (even room numbers) to minimize highway traffic noise. Great breakfast and well maintained facilities.
