Check in was seamless and front desk clerk was quick, friendly and handed us our room keys within 2 minutes. Got to the room, it was literally spotless. Beds were comfortable and although the hotel looked booked solid, it was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was standard fare - cold goods - cereal, juices, fruit, etc., as well as bagels, muffins, eggs, sausage, etc. The ONLY reason this isn't a star review is that snow removal on the sidewalks could be way better, and there was a lack of hot water, in that it wasn't very hot in the shower. Would stay again however.
