This was a horrible stay and we will not return. This hotel was understaffed, the main elevator was not working, the business center computer/printer was not working, and our floor’s ice machine was not working. Photos are attached. There appeared to some sort of suspicious late night transactions going on in the parking lot with people I do not believe... More

The hotel was extremely difficult to find. Our Sygic GPS would not accept the address and led us to the opposite part of town in a residential area. If you can input co-ordinates into your GPS, - use these; N 40-25-13 W 80-3-21. Every hotel should have this info on the homepage! The reception area was guarded by a «bulldog»... More

We chose this location as it was very convenient for traveling to our daughter's apartment. I called ahead to make sure it wasn't still under construction, which several reviewers had mentioned. We found the room to be somewhat redone and the bed was very comfortable and clean. However, the walls were marred and badly in need of painting, and the... More

I stayed there for two nights. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was OK, pretty much what is to be expected. The thing I did not like was that the fitness center was not operational. However, that could be temporary just when I happened to be there. I cannot say that I had any major inconvenience.
