The room was very clean and comfortable. The only problem is that people who stayed around us and upstairs didn’t respect the others and they were too noisy. The reception should ask them to not make noise after 10pm.

Staff was great and a great improvement over previous years.. Room not as good as usual. shower head was a disaster. Pelting water from shower head almost drove me out of shower and no way to adjust it, shower curtain would no stay put and water was on the bathroom floor. No instructions on a/c or heat and impossible to find settings for heat or fan settings. We have stayed here many times and always enjoyed the remodel (even with no breakfast uncluded in the past).Your prices for a one night room are incredibly high now as opposed to one too two years ago. Small things in hotels make us happy and the shower facilities are of upmost importance as is the room temperature controls. This is the first time the room was not satisfactory but lover the new kitchen and breakfast. Richard Cusolito

We arrived very late and only spoke with the concierge, but check-in was easy and the hotel felt cute, clean, and safe. We’d definitely stay here again. Our neighbors were a bit rambunctious late into the night, but the front desk let us know a college soccer team was staying, so that likely explains the noise. Next time we’ll request a second-floor room, though the first floor was incredibly convenient. Overall, a great stay! We will be back.
