Best value in New England! Staff is supportive and site is super clean. Decor is nice. Comfy beds. Subpar breakfast but who cares?! Free coffee, and the food is a bonus... and again, you can't beat the value!

The check-in was efficient and staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bathroom seemed updated, shampoo, conditioner, soap was pleasant. Breakfast was okay with healthy options--fruit, yogurt. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but okay for one night. I would stay here again if in the area.

This hotel was significantly nicer than most other economy hotels in its class. We found the rooms to be tastefully decorated and comfortable. We had an opportunity to enjoy the small but uncrowded pool (Sunday night). The breakfast was good for this category of hotel and we enjoyed the automatic pancake maker that cooked up tasty pancakes to order. It is not a four-star level hotel, nor does it pretend to be, but it is well above average for a two-star economy tier hotel.
