The room was nice, comfortable bed, nice showers. Liked the hotel in general but our room was directly next to the breakfast area. At 4 am both mornings we were wakened to slamming cabinets, coffee making and many additional noises. Our room #205 was also right next to the street and apparently they failed to use sound deadening glass as we heard every can and truck all night long. Just don’t get a room on the street side of the building or next to the breakfast srea!

Disliked: Cleanliness
First thing I noticed when using the bathroom was long dark hair wrapped around f the vitrine of the shower door. At the same time my daughter was turning down the bed to find it looked like it had been slept in, stained sheets, and lots of hair. I called the front desk to ask to be moved to a different room. She said the hotel was full and offered to bring clean sheets, which she did within a matter of minutes. The sheets she brought were Watt in a ball, she started to help me put them on, and I told her she could go, and as soon as she left, we noticed that the new sheets also had stains on them. By this time, it’s after one in the morning, we needed to be up at 6 AM so we decided to just sleep with our clothes on. It was very hard to sleep because the walls are so thin in this hotel you could literally hear every car at the intersection, especially the loud trucks accelerating when the light turned green. Our refrigerator was very noisy, the lack of carpeting or area rugs made for hearing every footsteps in the rooms around us. When I went to take my medicine and fill the clear plastic cup, the water was literally brown. Very disappointing stay which got us off to a rough start for our college visit. I would not stay here again.

Love how close it is to Court St but we visited in the summer. I can imagine it would get pretty noisy during the school year. The walls are very thin, we could hear everything the people were saying in the room next door. Breakfast was nice and the complimentary drinks in the room were appreciated.
