We had a good experience overall except the breakfast. That is considered a continental breakfast & should be included in the price. It was definitely not worth $8.99!

Great staff, so-so room

We picked this location due to reviews and proximity to the purpose of our visit. We were placed in a poolside room. The pool doesnt close until 11. We had to be up early. Between the pool noise and the teen girls in the room next to ours, there was no going to bed at a decent hour. Additionally, our room was damp due to the pool outside the door. The bedding, towels and carpet felt wet. The smell of chlorine was overpowering. It was bad. The room was clean but definitely worn. The shower curtain rod had been screwed in multiple times, the shower handle was loose, the furniture had scuffs and wear marks from the vacuum cleaner or something continually rubbing on it. The beds are HARD. The best part of our stay was the staff. Everyone we dealt with was very kind.

Our room was by the stairs and side exit door, and very loud all night. Carpet was so sticky and tacky dirty, your feet would lightly stick to it. Had to wear shoes in the room when walking around.

Quiet, safe area. It is very near shopping and restaurants in Woodbury. Check in was quick and the staff was very friendly. It has free parking on site. The pool is a nice size and the hot tub was great. Our room was very clean and quiet with a surprisingly large bathroom! We will definitely stay again.

Great location in northeast Woodbury.

We usually stay at Marriott properties due to loyalty program, but ended up here bc all three Marriott hotels were booked! This hotel was actually better located in regards to the purpose of our visit. Indoor pool was nice feature if you are needing that for young children/entertainment. Breakfast is not included, but available for a fee. Friendly/helpful staff.

Came up to visit Stillwater area, which is a short distance away. Hotel was clean and service was great. Was slightly disappointed with the breakfast package offered. Online add said up charge would grant a “made to order” breakfast. Discovered the attached restaurant recently closed so instead we were offered scrambled eggs, sausage, and cold cereals.

I thought the building was unique. The lobby area was very nice and the front staff was helpful. In the actual room, I was disappointed. I had heard it was dated but I was not prepared for exactly how dated it was. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom left much to be desired. I didn’t anticipate a walk in shower with chairs/disability area. The toilet base was dirty and we decided to not shower.
