- DLDon Lorenz2 days ago5.0Excellent choice for this area.
- DHDedric HayesDec 22, 20255.0Very comfortable and quiet place!
- JLJason LeonardDec 14, 20252.0The rooms are way outdated for the price. Definitely stop at CVS if you forget something because they have nothing to offer. Bartender was good and bar food was reasonably priced. Overall decent at best.
- JJJada JNov 30, 20255.0Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Room was clean and spacious and had everything we needed during our stay. The bar and restaurant in the lobby served tasty food and drinks. Can’t complain at all!
- AMApril MurphyNov 11, 20253.0We traveled to CT to celebrate my niece's senior night (total of 4-5 rooms). The room and location were great and most of the staff were amazing, especially Sherry and Sara in the Trophy Room. However, Jodie needs to go - she not only is an embarrassment to your hotel, she will likely cost you return customers. After my niece's senior night, we went back to the hotel because she wanted to be someplace quiet where she could enjoy the company as we all traveled quite a distance to celebrate her. As part of my family sat at the table, a few of us walked toward the elevator and heard Jodie talking with another staff member about not wanting to serve us so late - it was 9pm but the kitchen was open until 10pm. After we returned from our room and sat down with other family members and friends, Jodie came over and leaned on the table and said, "it would have been nice if you would have made a reservation as I am the only one here. It is common courtesy to give us a call." Keep in mind that my sister asked about making a reservation upon check in and the front desk stated that they didn't take reservations but it should not be a problem to get served at 9pm for a party of 10. When we tried to inform her of that and asked if we should just leave, she became more condescending and rude. We ended up leaving and going to Applebee's where that establishment and serve made our night better.
