Loved that they are pet friendly and the staff was wonderful. Pool was nice however the water was too cold, and it was indoor. The only issue with the room was that it was dirty under the beds and the last 2 nights we had flies just appear in the bathroom, no other place in the room.

We had a quick one night stop as a halfway stop on our way to Rhode Island, but wewere very happy with our stay! We had two rooms which we were able to have joined since there were 3 adults and 3 young children. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and roomy. We were able to use the pool to let the kids get energy out. The breakfast was great and if anything was needed the staff was there to help. We will definitely keep this hotel in mind for future trips!

Property needs to be cleaned more. Dead flys all over window sills and dirty carpets in room and halls. Comforter had dark hair on it which was not ours. Maid was friendly brought us new towels day 2 of our 3 day stay but never cleaned the room. Had to ask front desk for toilet paper and took our own trash out to dumpster since no maid service. Front desk was very friendly and accommodating.

Positive: Check-in was quick and easy. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options, and the ladies working in the breakfast area were especially kind and welcoming. Our room was spacious, and the hotel is in a quiet and convenient location. Negative: The hotel could definitely improve cleanliness—hallways, carpets, and rooms need more attention. Our room had an unpleasant smell, and the sofa was stained with dark spots; it either needs to be replaced or steam cleaned. Also, blackout curtains are really needed—sunlight started coming in around 5:00 a.m., which made it hard to sleep in.

Checked in at 4. Unpacked, went to dinner, returned and watched NCAA basketball championship. Turned the beddown around midnight to find a large reddish-brown stain on the bed sheet that had bled through to the mattress pad. Reported to the front desk and wehad to repack and move to another room after midnight. The HVAC unit rattled off and on all night. General manager told me she could not help me because Imade the reservation through Expedia and said to call them. I did. Their customer support is terrible and only offered an online chat, never a call with a live person.
