Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Very easy and quick check-in and checkout, the staff at the reception both evening and morning shift very friendly and courteous. Room was super clean and the bed was perfectly set. Nothing much to say about the breakfast, very small space and very limited quantities of the offered few items and if you are late in showing up then good luck if you get anything.
The room was spotless & the receptionist helped the check in process go by quickly.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Issue with child safety locks on water temperature, microwave and / or tv in my room. I’m a solo traveler. Some of these were resolved after complaint.
Very clean, Nice staff. We slept in so we didn’t catch breakfast. Definitely staying here again the next time we’re here for a show!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean room and nice staff. Convenient location. Breakfast was fairly sub-par and we were given an accessible room (neither of us need that) which never have good water pressure.
I would have given five starts, excellent hotel to stay while traveling. Just to be aware that at least some of the rooms facing the turnpike might be a bit noisy at night, but it was not bad at all as we both slept very well.
