Good value for your money.

Good value for your money. There was nothing special about our hotel room,. However, it was super clean and quiet. It was also easy to control the temperature in the room. The breakfast was also nice, and saved us money. A big factor for selecting this hotel was its location right off RT 95/RT 128. The only negative aspect of our stay was my wife and I wished the room's king-sized bed had a firmer mattress.

The hot water was not available at the coffee stand when I came to have a tea. Was told by a worker to go to the gym and get hot water from the water machine. When came there - no hot water was in the machine either. Had to go to my room and to use the coffee machine to get the hot water. The communication and the attention to details are lacking here.

Fairly good location. Changing my reservation from a king bed to two queens after the cancellation timeframe was absurdly overpriced.

Not so good.

The HVAC system did not work in the room. We tried to lower the room temp and we could not lower it. At 3AM we just turned it off. The room was 71 when we got up.
