When we arrived on Friday the man checking us in was super friendly and helpful! The pool was freezing and I’m not just talking about the water. I had to bundle myself up (I’m talking socks, sweater, hat and all) while watching my kids bravely swam. Whoever cleaned our room before we got there did the bare minimum. When we leave we clean up after ourselves, I’ll do the garbage and when I say bare minimum I legitimately mean there was garbage all in the bottom of the garbage which they just lined it with a garbage bag and called it a day VS dumping out the garbage that’s inside the garbage bin.

For the price point it served it's purpose. We arrived to find out the elevator is out of service (has been for an extended time according to front desk) and no rooms on ground floor with 2 beds. Not the end of the world for us - we're able bodied and could climb the stairs. However, it wasn't mentioned before arrival and this could be a deal breaker for some guests. The entry doors from the parking lot don't work with the keys so after hours you have a bit of a walk. Overall, for the price point I would stay again. Sheldon at the desk was super friendly and helpful at check in

No smoke alarm in the room; dog in next room barking the first night. We were 4 and only towels for 2. Dirty towels not picked up or fresh towels brought in. Front desk person very friendly and tried to help. Breakfast very good. Beds comfy.

Went for a 24 hour trip with my oldest ti Watertown. This is a nice hotel. Unfortunately, their elevator was out of service but we only had one flight of stairs to climb. Only downside, extremely noisy neighbours on our floors. Let their kids run around screaming until very late. And I get kids will be kids but, parents should parent.

I thought the front desk was well maned and professional. Breakfast was excellent. The windows in the room were really dirty and old. People had written the date they had stayed in the fog from the shower. It was not recent. The pool area was clean, but could use some inviting decor and chairs.
