Lobby Room
Had a great stay however was right in the lobby. This made it tough for me, a light sleeper as housekeeping vacuumed at 8am and could hear people talking up and down the hallway all night long. I'm sure this wouldn't have been a problem had I been in a different room.

Great Price
I stayed in this hotel for a friend's wedding and it was by far one of the cheapest rates around. The area is not that nice (Meriden), but if it's where you're going, you can't do much about that. The hotel itself was a little dated (very 80's looking in the rooms) but very clean and well maintained. The bed was fine and the room had a full size fridge and 2 burner stove, which was great since I was staying more than a single night. They also had a gym and laundry facility that looked modern and well maintained. Considering the price, I would definitely stay in this hotel again if I were in the area.

Great Value
The location, East Main Street 1 block East of Wilber Cross Parkway, was perfectly located, less than 2 miles from the funeral home and a block from the Parkway. The rooms were very clean, new, and warm, which is very important when the temperature outside is less than 20 degrees. The staff was very friendly. The price was very reasonable.

Great stay for the money
My wife and I went to our son's college for parent weekend at Q.U. The suite was everything we expected for the price. Everyone was nice and pleasant and the room was very clean.We wanted to have our son stay one night with us but they do not have cots available.

Wonderful accomodations. The best!
We were here for an anniversary celebration. The room was very quiet and 1st class in every way. The kitchenette had anything you could possibly need. Very close to interstat and any kind of dining you would want. Thank you.
