Stayed at the property for one night and fire alarm activated twice and all occupants had to Come to the lobby. I had traveled to the hote fr9m NYC to attend my sisters funeral services. I was very distressed by the loss of my sister and the fire alarms which wasno fault of the hotel but left me sleep deprived. Thea hotel gave me a complete refund which. Expedia processed back to me. I am so grateful to the GM BobPatidar and Fr9mt Desk Rep. Cynthia. Thank you so much. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

We have stayed at this hotel many times over the past 3-4 years. On those visits the hotel was quite good. However, this stay 1/31 - 2/3 was no less than atrociousl Room - heat did note work well, water pressure in the bathroom was almost non-existent, television did not work, no soap anywhere in the bathroom, no hairdryer, no extra blanket. In fact, when we arrived on 1/31 at 4:00 PM, we were told by the recepotionist that the elevator was broken - so they were advising new customers to not get a room on the third floor. We were so taken aback by the room's condition as listed above, leaving the hotell immediately was considered. It appeared that the hotel was about to close permanently - kind of a sad action. Good luck to you fixing these problems. One more thing, we were given room 117, on the first floor - with the door to the rooom actually in the lobby.

Good location; convenient to the interstate and good shopping. Hotel not in great shape. Had a weird mothball smell throughout. It was dirty and dirty outside around the hotel. The water pressure in both the shower and sinks not great. The beds were comfortable. Only 1 guess washer/dryer which was not convenient. The gym...well not much to it a few dumbbells and 2 treadmills and room was like a closet. Ice machines were out of order. But most of the staff was friendly!

Incredibly Dirty. The entire hotel had an incredibly strong acetone smell to the point I had to leave. The furniture was stained and dirty. The ripped shade only went half way down the window and had no curtains to cover it. The walls had areas not painted and there were paint chips on the ground. Would not recommend to anyone.

Room directly over entrance. Sliding entry doors made loud mechanical noise and vibration; maintenance needed. Window blind damaged and inoperable. At checkout, my report of these items was met with profound indifference. Was advised door noise was "an individual thing", implying that the problem was mine. Person should be removed from customer service position. Never got a good night of sleep.

This hotel was easy to get to off I-495. Even though we arrived late, there was ample parking. The room was updated and clean. Check in was easy, staff was pleasant. Breakfast exceeded expectations. It would have been nice for the front desk to have change on hand for laundry since the change machine wasn't working. Also there was a electric car charger on premise, but the front desk didn't know anything about it. Was really just questioning if it was free or not, as most hotels I have stayed at it was free for hotel guests. I did not want to go through the hassle of downloading and setting up a new app if it was not going to be free.
