July 2025 - We stayed here for 2 nights during our travels of the East Coast. The pool area was clean. We had the suite room with 2 queen beds and we found it spacious for a family of four. We were very surprised at how noisy the surrounding rooms were - we could hear everyone leaving the elevator, the surrounding rooms and the neighbourhood outside (windows were closed). The hotel is located in a residental neighbourhood and located within driving distance of downtown. The restaurant in the hotel was delicious and affordable - but there were very limited options for other food nearby. The breakfast served was excellent and well labelled for those with dietary restrictions. I booked hotels with free breakfast at all the hotels we stayed at during our two week trip, and this was the only breakfast I could enjoy (being dairy free and gluten free).
