The pool and fitness centre were the main reason I selected the hotel and they were closed for maintenance which sucked

Stayed in a room in the new Annex building, where lobby and breakfast are. Super clean, super friendly, quieted down outside after 11. Breakfast was a little too basic, but ok. No elevator so a but inconvenient hauling luggage and coolers to second floor

The motel does not have a dolly to carry multiple bags and parcels into the room. This is difficult for a senior citizen to deal with.

Great, clean pool, clean rooms, no complaints. One thing to note: there is no elevator to the second floor! So if you have luggage or have walking difficulties or injuries , there’s no way to get on second floor, other than stairs. If hotel is fully booked you also may not have an option to switch to the first level, which is what we had to deal with. Staff helped us with luggage, but there’s no bellman, so that was challenging. Breakfast was also below average, but waffles were good. Need fruit and protein..

The first room we got smelled so badly of cigarettes. I lasted an hour and started developing a rash. I went to the front desk and asked for a new room which the staff kindly did. The new room was 100% better. Breakfast was basic but at least there's free breakfast! The location was great.

When we arrived to our room, the beds were made but it appeared as though the room hasnt been cleaned in weeks. When we walked in, we immediately smelled the strongest scent of cigarettes. In fact after we left, the scent was still on our clothes just from being in the room a short amount of time. There were stains all over every blanket on both queen beds. There were mud stains on the floors. There was a booger or some sort of nasty crum in the shower. We went back to tell the front desk staff in a kind way, understanding it wasn’t their fault for the cleanliness of the room. The front desk staff that night was able to get us a new room. We were hesitant but needed a place to stay so we accepted it. The new room was a little better, but by no means was this place in any way acceptable. In the morning, we left to get ourselves breakfast. Checkout was at 11am, and we got back from breakfast around 10:30 to go in the room eat and relax before we had to leave. When we got to the room, housekeeping was already cleaning it. We had food still in the fridge but we just left it behind and left the hotel. Definitely 100% would NOT recommend ever to anyone.

Unfortunately the property has come under new ownership/management after I’ve stayed her a few times and had a pleasant experience. After my last stay I will never return. Sheets were dirty and stained. Toilet was dirty. The room smelled of mildew. When I called the front desk the manager Mrs. Patel came up to the room and with a brief look said “It’s clean” while it was clearly not. She told me there were no other rooms open and when I refused I was finally reallocated to a slightly better room but all of the sheets and towels were still stained. Poor management and cleanliness. Absolutely not worth the price considering I paid over $300 for one night.

Hotel room was clean and comfortable. Good enough for a couple nights stay. Only issue was the other guests. Around 2am there were 3 different sets of people arguing, yelling, cursing etc. One sounded physical. I was concerned for how far it could escalate. No hotel security responded regardless of how loud they were.

This property is fine, and I will stay here again. I wouldn't discourage anyone from staying here. But this property has been better. I've been staying here regularly the past few years, and every time I am a little more disappointed. The best part of this property is the location if you have a Vassar connection. The breakfast is sub-par for ordinary traveler hotels with complimentary breakfasts. I have never used the pool or exercise room. Connecting to the internet is a hassle, but once connected, it is adequate.

It was a little hard to sleep due to stairwell door slamming and people walking in stairwell throughout the evening. Would suggest turning this room into storage closet.

Housekeeping came in and took my stuff. As soon as I returned for the day I let the guy at the front know, he said that he would make a note for the day shift to look for it. Kept asking for two days. Nothing. Then the last time I spoke with the guy he gaslit me and said oh that would never happen. So basically saying I was lying. They have people living there full time. Not really a motel. Said the fitness center wasn't open till 9:00 a.m. even though the signs say 6:00 a.m.. they did let me in prior to 9:00 a.m. but they weren't real happy about it. Not much for breakfast ran out of coffee everyday.

Do not stay here. Horrible management. Scammers charged $250 fee for finding a cup with a cigarette in it from me smoking OUTSIDE. Did not smoke once in the room but charged me for leaving my cup from outside that i put my cigarette butt in to be kind and not litter outside. Never thought something like that could happen to me. I would never smoke in the room I don’t smoke in my own house. This really affected me financially too. I am fighting the claim and trying to get my money back for my whole stay. This place is scammers.

Room was clean and a nice size. However, you could hear the people above you every time they moved. Which for some reason was all night. During check in, we arrived to an unoccupied desk. After waiting a couple of minutes, the phone rang. Someone came out to answer the phone and ignored us. They took the reservation of the person on the phone while we waited, despite having arrived before the phone rang. The receptionist should have put them on hold so that we could check in first.

The gentleman at check in was great. I had to switch room type due to a physical disability and he was very accommodating and kind. The room was clean and cozy, the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed we've ever slept in before. It's a no frills place, but quiet and ideally located to the Civic Center where the event we were attending was held. Many good options within a 2 minute walk.

My family of six have stayed at this hotel multiple times over the last three years when dropping off and visiting our daughter at Vassar College. It works for us because we can walk to and from campus. The upgraded decor is nice, plumbing has issues though. The staff are nice. We don’t eat on site because there is a great diner around the corner. I will continue to stay here because it’s comfy, clean and close to campus. Please use some draino though.

This place was ok. Rooms were decent but the temperature was hard to control- either too cold or too hot. Pool was freezing. One morning breakfast barely existed- no waffle mix, barely any milk and the toaster and waffle maker didn’t work correctly. The next morning seemed to be slightly better. For some reason housekeeping took all our towels after the first night so we were forced to get new ones but they brought them up to our room very quickly.
