Endeavor Inn & Suites, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
No elevator. We had to carry our suitcases up a flight of stairs. We didn’t have enough towels. There were four of us in the room and only two sets of towels. No free WiFi. Breakfast was very good. There was a cook on site and food was served for you.

Enjoyed my stay - I’ve stayed before and I’ll stay again. Quiet area within walking distance of several restaurants. Room had everything I needed. 24/7 coffee in the lobby made up for no coffeemaker in the room. Breakfast was really good.
