A wonderful stay. The entire hotel was recently renovated. My room was perfect. A very comfortable bed with a couch. The bathroom area is large. Well decorated, clean, and quiet. The weight room was nice. Breakfast was good- a nice selection of hot and cold foods. Very close to Clarkson.

The room was very clean and smelled great when we first arrived. Staff was great and very accommodating. Climate control worked great considering the -10 degree night the area had. The beds were a tad firm, but I know that just personal preference so not really a negative. The breakfast wasn't spectacular, but there was a decent selection and it was free so I won't complain to much.
