There was nothing stating that they was under renovations and so we got there and the pool was out and we picked that hotel not only for the price but also for the indoor pool

Pros: n/a Nothing to add here.. Nothing was outstanding. It was a fine hotel stay. For what I paid, I expected a fine hotel stay.
Cons: The hotel experience was fine, but I was highly disappointed that my stay would not count on the Marriott's point card just because I booked and paid through Travelocity.

A medium-sized hotel in a small-sized space

The room was nice enough. Typical for a hotel this size. The desk was able to provide us non-down pillows, which was welcome. The parking lot was a different story. There weren't anywhere near enough spots for all the guests. We lucked into the last open spot when we arrived. By morning, there were non-handicapped cars in all the handicapped spots, in the loading areas between the handicapped spots, in the fire lane, and in the area right in front of the door. Fortunately there wasn't a fire so it wasn't a problem but it shows amazingly poor planning. Don't they think they'll ever sell out? Breakfast was a pricey little restaurant counter with about 5 options ($4-for-a-bowl-of-oatmeal kind of options). There was also a micro-Starbucks in the lobby. No thanks... Fortunately there is a Dunkin' Donuts next door so we went there for a 4th the price. We got a good night's sleep but we certainly wouldn't stay here again. There are better, cheaper options.

Staff are rude

The property is new and well kept but we had a problem with the staff on the morning shift.  The kids went downstairs to get breakfast and the staff refused to serve them without me present.  Teenagers and very well behaved.  I called the front desk and asked them to please serve them breakfast but they still refused to do so without me present.  They need a new day manager.  Until then I recommend you avoid this hotel.

Great Stay

Booked this hotel for a weekend stay, and was very pleased indeed. Rooms were exceptionally clean, and very nicely decorated...modern & classy furniture. For the size of the room, it sure had everything a person needed! Internet access was great too. Bathrooms were very clean and tidy. Kitchen area nice too. The bed is what we loved the most...soooo comfortable and soft. We wanted to bring the pillows home with us!! Definitely recommend this place. Oh and there's a 24hr gas station/food mart right next door.
