Hotel was great. Rooms were clean, staff were courteous and check in was fast. The hot breakfast was good over the weekend. Not too many selections on Monday. The location was in close proximity for our event at the Colonial Arena. I will choose this location again if ever in the area. day.

8/10 Very good

Great hotel with friendly staff, clean rooms and a great continental breakfast. The only negative was that my room faced the main road and it was noisy all night long.

2/10 Poor

LOUD LOUD LOUD!! If you have no other choice but to stay here, bring noise cancelling headphone or really good earplugs. The street noise was terrible, nobody got any sleep due to the motorcycles, loud trucks, cops and ambulance sirens all night long. Definitely not worth what we paid for. AC unit ran all night long on top of that and it was only set to 70 degrees. TV volume was quiet even when adjust to 100!! Staff was nice and food was ok. But not worth it overall.
