• Ambience, clean, quiet location.
• Front desk people weren¿t friendly-not welcoming anybody.

“Hotel was great, I liked everything location, areas around hotel, plenty of restaurants and shopping. Police patrols on duty. ”

• Great location, peaceful, pleasant surroundings.
• Bathroom light lit up whole room--no separate light for bathroom. Only one chair for three people staying in room.

“A nice upscale hotel located convenient to major highways. Peaceful setting in an over-crowded city.”

“Excellent Hotel. Clean, well decorated rooms, Nice pool and hot tub. Great restaurant right in the hotel, walking distance to several other restaurants and shopping. A little out of the way, but if you're looking for a hotel in the area this is a wonderful place.”

• Curved shower curtain bars kept the curtain away from your body while showering.
• Unsolicited 4:45AM wake up call and lame apology.

“Shula's hotel is clean and neat. The AC cools the room but does not reduce humidity, so you experience a cold sauna ambiance. Rooms are dark even with all lights on. I would choose a Courtyard by Marriot before returning to Shula's.”

• Beautiful hotel, grounds, etc.
• Horrible guest service, no working elevator..

“The hotel staff gave us wrong directions to the hotel putting us two hours out of our way. They did not apologize, gave us a room on the third floor in a building that had no working elevator. Our room had a broken bathroom door and we requested another room. The manager did not even come out. They gave us a room next to the old one (still no elevator)....poor service...employees smoking in front of guests, slow service, etc. Disappointing. They would not even print us a receipt or give us the address of the corporate office, faking ignorance.”

• The surrounding Main Street area was nice.
• Unhelpful staff, strong smoke odor throughout, paper-thin walls. Poor value overall.

“I am a travel writer, and have stayed at a broad range of places over the years. In terms of disappointment, this hotel would rank as one of the biggest letdowns. I've stayed at plenty of three-star hotels, and how this place has a three-star rating is beyond me. We could hear our neighbors and people in the corridors very clearly, and the odor of cigarette smoke permeated the place. The hotel staff, with the exception of the friendly housekeepers, was indifferent at best, borderline rude at worst. The "deal" I got on the room was no deal at all--would have been better off staying somewhere off the Turnpike.”

• The staff was very accommodating. We received an early check in and great service. Especially from Albert the bartender.
• Nothing at all. It was the best.

“Every member of staff we encountered was helpful and professional. I was skeptical of the hotel but the hotel exceeded my expectations. I would gladly stay there again. The quaint Main Street shops are great. It feels like a small town.”

• Very safe environment, nice thick mattresses.
• Breakfast buffet very nice but a little pricey, couldn't open doors to balcony.

“Very friendly and helpful staff, comfortable beds, nice lobby and grounds. Would've like choice other than buffet for breakfast, although it was very nice. OJ tasted fresh squeezed, delightful.”

• Put 3.95 bottled water next to coffee maker, to groggy to realize cost.

“It's like a Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood Hotel for Sports fans, Only on a smaller scale and comfortable setting. Not just a good ole boy getaway.”
