I would have given five starts, excellent hotel to stay while traveling. Just to be aware that at least some of the rooms facing the turnpike might be a bit noisy at night, but it was not bad at all as we both slept very well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very easy and quick check-in and checkout, the staff at the reception both evening and morning shift very friendly and courteous. Room was super clean and the bed was perfectly set. Nothing much to say about the breakfast, very small space and very limited quantities of the offered few items and if you are late in showing up then good luck if you get anything.

My stay was just for a single night on a business trip. The hotel had a great location and had easy access to the turnpike. The person at the desk was helpful was friendly - something you don't always get with night staff at a hotel. The room was clean. The price was right, and the location is great, and I would stay here again.
