I REALLY like this hotel. The staff are great, the place is spotless, the breakfast is yummy, the beds are super comfy. I've stayed here twice and had a great experience both times. Unfortunately, I won't be staying here again for one reason: the road noise outside the hotel is TERRIBLE. This hotel is right next to an off ramp for a major highway-- I-495-- and all night long, both times I stayed, I heard semi trucks coming on and off the ramp, downshifting, and generally making a LOT of noise. I barely slept, either night, and I just can't endorse it as 'excellent' for that reason. I wish I could.

The bed was great, best thing about the property. I have never been to a hotel that has pool hours so restrictive, some days the pool was only open for 3 hours- very strange for a family friendly hotel. Breakfast was ok, they do have a good beverage selection but the food was as to be expected for continental.

Friendly staff, clean hotel, loved the hot breakfast! Wish there was juice choices and not just water, but can’t really complain when the mini fridge is stocked with chocolate milk either haha. 5 stars would stay here again

We stay at this hotel whenever we come to town to visit family. We can always count on the room being clean, the staff being friendly and attentive. If you do not enjoy their free breakfasts, there are several coffee and breakfast places within walking distance as well.

We choose this hotel due to breakfast, which was great. Pool is only opened limited hours and closed on Mondays. This was disappointing. HVAC system went down in our room one evening and no maintenance staff there. We unplugged it and waited... Finally started working. Hot breakfast with sausage, bacon, pancakes, scrambled eggs, pancakes, cereal,bagels, toast, juice, coffee, yogurt, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs.

Room had everything we needed. Service was friendly and efficient. Wish the rates were lower. Had handicap room, able to accommodate a wheelchair, but bed was so high there was no way a person could transfer from their chair to the bed. I was not chair-bound, but had a very hard time getting into the bed. Other than that, I would book a stay there again when in that area.
