Stayed here one night while son was at Quinnipiac Orientation. Exceptionally friendly check-in staff with a bright and welcoming lobby area. The lobby is spacious with natural light and plenty of comfortable seats. Several large screen TVs between lobby and restaurant as well. Room was spacious, clean and quiet. I used the fitness center twice and it’s very clean with a direct view of the pool area. Breakfast and dinner were sit-down service and very tasty. Will definitely stay here again.

The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The breakfast was not worth $18. It was boxed scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and oatmeal. And the coffee was terrible. Dinner from the restaurant was good, though, so we know the kitchen has potential!
