The room was very clean, the robes and espresso machine are a nice extra. The complimentary continental breakfast is nothing special. Actually, has little to offer. The Salt line restaurant has a limited menu as well. The employees we dealt with at arrival and check out were exceptional. Very friendly, helpful, and yet professional.

Property at the edge of Vassar College. Clean, efficient, nice staff. Included breakfast did not satisfy my hungry 17 year old but I (his parent) thought it was lovely. Stayed during a college visit. Great for a night.

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.
