Everything was practically like new. As per staff, the Hotel was recently updated & renovated,. The breakfast was good & set up as a buffet style. Breakfast was optional, but was not included. Also, guests should be informed that upon entering the dining area, once you render your breakfast voucher,…that; you will be approached by the hostess or dining room area attendant, asking guests what type of drink you would like, & they bring it to your table. Then a tip will be expected based on the percentage of your breakfast/diner meal for sitting you & serving your drink. I think it’s a smart business strategy for cost control, to prevent loss for the hotel, & for the kitchen-dining staff to be compensated for their work/service, but it should be communicated ahead of time when booking & requesting breakfast/dinner to be included. Other than this, the Hotel was exceptional & the stay was excellent. We would stay there again.

Nice big room & bathroom. Very nice & welcoming staff, from front desk and restaurant to housekeeping. Parking is plentiful & free. The only drawback is that the grille & bar are closed on Sunday evenings, a time when some weary travelers don't want to look elsewhere.

Stayed here one night while son was at Quinnipiac Orientation. Exceptionally friendly check-in staff with a bright and welcoming lobby area. The lobby is spacious with natural light and plenty of comfortable seats. Several large screen TVs between lobby and restaurant as well. Room was spacious, clean and quiet. I used the fitness center twice and it’s very clean with a direct view of the pool area. Breakfast and dinner were sit-down service and very tasty. Will definitely stay here again.
