Definitely Stay Here
Pros:

The beds were very comfortable and the pillows! I also loved the coffee machine so in the early morning I could have coffee in bed - bonus that the coffee was delicious. The room was cleaned and restocked for the following night and the vending machines and restaurant was convenient. My husband enjoyed the lounge/bar in the evening. I also loved the DOVE soaps provided. My favorite brand and scent. Those little things make a big difference at a hotel. I also loved the coffee in the lobby! I would absolutely stay again.

Cons:

I honestly liked everything. If I could change one thing, I wish our bathroom was a tad bigger. That was very minor though.

Could use a refresh and a better front desk presence.
Pros:

The location was the best aspect as it is easy to reach but do not head the traffic from the nearby turnpike. I used to stay here on a regular basis twenty years ago and little has changed in the interim.

Cons:

The bed- specifically, the mattress as it felt as if I were sleeping on the floor. Also, as a woman traveling alone, I am always aware of the presence- or lack of- of staff at the front desk. Seeing someone there facing the lobby gives a sense of security. When it was obvious that the heating system was not working in the room first assigned, I attempted to call the front desk and after a delay, the call got rerouted as if I were calling from outside and answered by staff thinking it was an outside call.
