Place is well located, pending on room location can be a bit noisy due to traffic on 80. Breakfast is super simple but ok; do not expect a hot tub after ski because it’s not working or pool. If you want a good movie at night bring your tablet, nothing but old tv series . Staff very friendly. Overall ok for the price.

Very clean, quiet, and great breakfast. I almost skipped the eggs because they looked burnt, so I thought they would be rubbery and overcooked, but I was so wrong. They make the eggs like pockets with cheese and it was the cheese which looks burnt, but those were one of the best breakfast eggs I ever had at a hotel. Otherwise, we had everything we needed and the location is super convenient. For the huge difference in price, it's definitely worth the 15 min distance to Palisades.

The place is dingy. My door appeared to have been tampered with before. Carpet in the room look run down. Even the toilet paper holder needs to replace. The tub has stains. The whole place just needs to be updated and remodeled. Very disappointed with this website. More pictures should be shown.

Basic, clean room. Decent breakfast w/hot offerings (eggs, bacon, fully automated/hands off pancake machine) and the usual cold offerings: bagels, bread, muffins, instant oatmeal, bananas. One thing though-- there was NO HAIR DRYER in the room, which I hadn't expected. So, be forewarned. This hotel has NO HAIR DRYERs.
