This property was very clean and smelled great (they use a diffuser in the lobby). The beds are amazing with a comfortable mattress and soft sheets/comforter which made for a cocoon-like sleeping environment. The continental breakfast was simple but fresh and delicious. The location was right across from Vassar College which made it extremely convenient during Reunion Weekend. I highly recommend this place.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked because location was close to my son’s school. They had just finished new, on site, restaurant with a full bar. The lobby is beautiful and the staff were all very friendly and professional. The room was very clean. Loved the walk in shower, lighted closet, cappuccino machine, full length mirror, and charging areas for electronics. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Robes were provided for use, but were too small for us. The room did not have a microwave, the bathroom did not have a fan, and the room fridge was not very cold, nor did it have a freezer section. Reusable bottles of water were provided, with a refilling station in library. Parking was limited, but there were a few EV charging stations. The continental breakfast had very limited choices, such as rye bread for toast, croissants, fresh fruit, and a bowl of some type of yogurt mixture. Coffee and tea were the beverages offered.
