• Convenient location /restaurants and services nearby.
• Housekeeping staff is very loud and rude.

“Every morning of my stay the housekeeping staff was yelling in the hallways. The Jamaican housekeeper tried to enter my room 3 times one morning while the do not disturb sign was out. I told her I would be staying over and to service my room after lunch. I came back after lunch and the room was never serviced. The cleaning job they did on most days was very poor. This used to be a nice place to stay.”

• Location next to highway.
• Woke me up two hours earlier than I requested/terrible exercise room.

“Good location right off route 8. Only 20 minutes from Yale university. Adequate breakfast buffet included in the price. Terrible exercise room--only one bike and one treadmill! They woke me up two hours earlier than I requested (5:30 a.m.! Bad directions on their website. A somewhat depressed environment.”

• Large rooms, convenient location.
• Pool too cold.

“I have stayed at this property many times when visiting family in the area, but it was the first time in at least a year. The hotel has only been open about 7 years, but is showing a little wear and tear around the edges. Everything was clean and in working order, and all staff encountered was helpful. I would certainly stay there again with no hesitation.”

• Very good location.
• Extremely poor TV reception, some networks were not watch able.

“This hotel is ok for the price paid, which was less than half of the asking price. Rooms are somewhat run down, with poor housekeeping in baths in particular. Had to ask two days in a row for an ice bucket. Excellent breakfast bar in lobby. Hotel front desk staff somewhat indifferent to requests for helps rectifying room deficiencies.”

• They were very accommodating when I wanted to bring my dog.
• Because the windows didn't open it was a bit stuffy in the room. Bathroom fan too loud.

“A perfectly nice place with a medium breakfast (would have preferred omelet station, for example, or fruit not sitting in liquid). No restaurant, but good room amenities (fridge and silverware & plates).”

• The rooms were of good size and the beds were comfortable.

“The hotel appearance is good, the rooms are of good size and the beds are comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. What I did not like was the price i.e. Value for money. The morning breakfast was very poor in quality and on my first morning there were no eggs, only hot patty sausages. It is a 2 1/2 star hotel at best, ok for a very short stay.”

• The room was spacious.
• Plumbing was bad, maid service was bad.

“We had nothing but problems with this hotel. Our maid service was horrible. The staff dragged their feet when we needed assistance. The continental breakfast was good someday and bad others depending on what staff were tending it. The hotel was doing so repainting so their blocked off all the handicapped parking so my aunt couldn't park. Our stay was frustrating especially when they were working on the roof at 7am hammering and woke us up when we are trying to relax and be on vacation.”

• Staff was friendly. Near New Haven. Cheap. Great breakfast.
• Rooms a bit dingy. Not as clean as one would hope.

“My stay in this hotel was fine. Little things make a big difference. For instance, the trash cans are not lined, so they are very dirty. The rugs are dingy. The bed spreads seem old. Other things were great, like a nice breakfast and a friendly staff.”

• Stink. There was a strong smell.

“The staff has very bad attitude. The hotel smells very bad. I had to vacate after 1 day even though, I had a non refundable reservation for 3 days. It was that bad. I got sick from the smell. This was my worst hotel experience as far as I can remember. I would never recommend them to any one.”

• Front desk staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. Housekeeping, however was fantastic.

“A wonderful facility overall, the staff could use a lesson in hospitality though. The rooms and amenities are fantastic, just don't ask anyone for directions.”

• The buffet breakfast, swimming pool, and location to local stores for shopping.
• I think check out time should be 12 noon.

“I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I like the cleanliness and the accessories in the rooms. I would suggest that the rooms be upgraded with DVD players. It will only help add in accommodating future customers. I also think the pool should be available until midnight. This hotel has become one of my favorites. Thanks for the pleasant experience.”

• Price, convenient access, hot weather-super air conditioner.
• Awkward room layout.

“Room was neat and clean but had an awkward layout. Bed was in a chubby (too close to the wall on one side) and a couple of feet and at an angle to the television set. Sleeping area should have been larger with television directly in front of the bed.”

• Great value.
• Needs to offer skim milk.

“I saw a review that said someone paid for parking - they must have the wrong hotel because parking is free and the location is very easy to the highway. It is also a 3 star, not 2.5 as some reviewers said. I had an excellent stay. The staff are the nicest - only comment they could offer skim milk. Otherwise - good value and huge rooms. ”

• The hotel is conveniently located, and has comfortable bedding.
• The hotel is somewhat dingy, and the complimentary breakfast is barely worth the price.

“The hotel is past its prime, with unappealing decor, and a dingy appearance. The furniture in the breakfast area is what you would expect in a church basement. The rooms are all suite-style, with high-quality bedding, but the towels are thin, and the soap and shampoo are cheap. In most rooms, at least one lamp is broken, and the TV picture looks like what you would expect from an antenna, not cable. In the fitness room, one treadmill is broken (and has been for quite some time), and the stair master moans and groans if you use it for more than 15 minutes.”
