Don’t stay in room 124. It is next to the side entrance… door slammed late into the night and started again early in the morning. Hotel was full… good for them, a Rowing Team was eating breakfast when we tried to eat. We came back an hour later, food was good… bacon rocked!!

Showing signs of age, but acceptable comfort.

Suite size was great. The pullout coach was old and worn. Cleanliness was okay, carpet was vacuumed but like tight corners were slightly dirty. Same with bathroom, behind around toilet area seemed a bit dirty too. Overall for the price and accomodations was okay. The breakfast highlight was the pancake maker machine. The eggs weren't the best. Only meat options were pork. Good cereal, muffins, yogurt, etc. selections.

Highly Recommend!

My girlfriend and I stayed in the king suite with a full kitchen for 12 nights. The room was spectacular! It is basically a one bedroom apartment! The only downside to the room was that it did not have a jetted tub, but that is just personal preference. However, the shower made up for it as it was very spacious with curved glass sliding doors! The kitchen was stocked with dishes, dish washer, full size fridge, plenty of cupboard space, microwave, stove/oven. It felt like we were at home the entire stay! The suite was a bit more costly than a normal suite, but the fact that it had the full kitchen allowed us to cook meals and save a bunch of money not having to go out every night during our stay, and who doesn't love a good, home cooked meal??!! The staff was very helpful and attentive to our needs. The hotel was extremely clean, quiet, and overall, we are highly satisfied with our stay!! I would recommend this hotel to everyone who plans on visiting this area!
