6/10 Good

The room was fine and clean. Bed was what I consider a medium firm and good. The hand soap didn’t work- had to use the shower gel, only one hand towel. No tissues. And the most annoying issue was that I like the heater or AC fan to run continuously on low at night for white noise but it didn’t work, probably just this room but..So it cycled on and off all night which interrupted my sleep. They have cellular shades on the window which worked well but the light did creep in on the sides. We did not check out the breakfast but walked to Dunkin just down the road.

Great NB Option

This hotel is perfect for the cost. The rooms are a bit smaller, but they are clean and comfortable. Pool is great, parking ample, and breakfast is good enough. Stay here with confidence. This is better than the average star reviews posted.

My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice now and we absolutely love it. The location is perfect—close to everything but still feels private and relaxing. Our room was spotless and cozy, and the heart-shaped jacuzzi is such a fun, romantic touch. The attached bar is a huge bonus. It stays open until 2 a.m., so we never had to leave the property to find entertainment. The drink specials were incredible—don’t miss the pumpkin martini or the amazing energy-drink cocktail, both were to die for. This hotel has quickly become our go-to for a quick getaway, and we can’t wait for our next stay!

Work in progress

I’m not sure our room was 💯ready for use after a recent remodel. I don’t think all chalking was done in the bathroom. The soap dispensers either haven’t been filled yet or weren’t working. Enjoyed our evening meal at the attached Pub.

We had the large tub suite. Room itself looks beautiful except gap on at bottom if door let kight and bugs in. Sink was slow. Maintenance did not fix while we were there. Exterior of building ceilings, doors, stairwells needs maintenance still. The breakfast never changed at all for the 3 days we were there. I wish they would have offered a dairyfree milk and gluten free option. Ryan's Pub inside hotel is the best. Licals love it's cheap prices and chance to play pool. Fast service with great tasting food.

4/10 Fair

The staff were friendly and attentive, the pool was nice, and the room was basically clean, but there was not enough toilet paper, and the toilet paper holder was broken. On my second night I ended up hardly sleeping because of the constant loud shouting from the room beside me. Around 3am I contacted the hotel staff, and I think someone eventually went around to the room to ask them to be quiet. When I brought this up to the staff in the morning, the front desk person apologized, but that was it. I figure if I pay you for a good night's sleep in your hotel and I don't get it at all (and have to spend the next day exhausted) because of something happening on your property, you ought to consider doing a little more than just saying "I'm sorry that happened." Also breakfast was almost exclusively carbs (waffles, muffins, sugary cereal, high-sugar yogurt etc.). No protein, and almost nothing one might call "healthy." I did appreciate the orange and the tea.
