The hotel was very clean. The staff went out of their way to be helpful even when we got the times wrong for breakfast. After a bad experience at a Holiday Inn we swore we would never stay at one again but this hotel has definitely changed our mind!!

Dated

Room rate was triple the norm due to demand. $300/night after taxes for a 2 star hotel. First room was very musty and pillow had a B.O. smell. AC wasn't working so there was high humidity in the room. Wife tried washing her hands and the soap dispenser fell off the wall to reveal it had been duct taped up there. The apologetic and helpful staff member changed our room and the new one was... as good they have I think. It was clean, AC worked but I'm guessing it hasn't been updated since they opened. Complimentary "breakfast to go" bar was actually really good. Nice selection, great single brew coffee, good food options and even GF choices. Convenient location for chain stores, fast food and access to Rt 23. There is an indoor pool which looked clean but we didn't get the chance to utilize it. I did receive a text offering another weekend stay at the rate of $67/night, which is much more in line with this hotel's value.

The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night because someone was smoking in their room. I paid more than I wanted to for a suite. It wasn't like the suites I am used to. It was a larger room with a couch, microwave, and a small refrigerator. The location was nice and the staff was great.

Damp room.

Room and facilities were excellent except: Couldn't seem to adjust the heater/air conditioner so it wasn't damp. Plenty cool, but so damp our glasses would fog up.
