I was happy with the staff and the hotel room. The bed was firm and I though the pillows were pretty comfortable. I wish they had better coffee. The mini fridge was coming out of the counter but it was still functional. I didn't use the mini fridge. It would have been nice if they had complimentary snacks or water. Overall, my experience was positive. I didn't use the gym or the pool because my time there didn't allow it. But the gym and pool looked nice.

Bed

We had two beds, one made a clunking noise when you set down. We had two rooms, my son and his two kids in one and we in another. Knowing that there was a baby, they should have given us a ajoining room at the end of the hotel. We had a room between us that the people saying there complained when the baby was crying.

We will definitely return

The location was just right because we were near the family that we visited and it was near Route 15. The best part is that there are many restaurants nearby.

It is close to route 15 if you are going to travel to NYC or other towns along the Merritt Parkway.

No major problems

The stay was peaceful and relaxing. Had issues with the microwave working consistently and the door is about 2 feet too close to the toilet. This factor causes an uncomfortable experience when exiting the shower. Even having the door open the opposite direction away from the toilet would be beneficial. Overall, good stay for the money.

Inn need of update!

The window whistled also letting in the traffic noise below. We could hear the man next to us having a phone conversation at 10:00 pm. It has a indoor pool, but the water and the room are cold.
