The room was nice but small. The bed was pushed against the wall so I had to climb off the end of the bed to get out. There was only 1 night table so I did not have a place to put my phone or glasses. There was a massage chair that was nice, but there was only 1 office chair and no place else to sit. The TV only partially worked and we were unable to watch regular channels.

This was such a nice hotel! I was not expecting how great this stay was. Everything was so clean and the receptionist was incredibly friendly! She gave me a little goody bag at check in and there’s a massage chair in every room. Definitely will be staying here again for future trips.

The rooms were so clean and comfortable. We were surprised by the massage chair in the room. That was a cool surprise after a 2 hour drive. It's a very high end comfortable hotel. Lots of nice personal touches like a gift bag with snacks and water upon arrival. Fresh baked cookies and swanky coffee machines in the lobby. I could go on and on... Just so it! Treat yourself to Sunny side for breakfast, it's right around the corner.

over promising under delivering Room nice and clean, most of front desk staff nice. massage chair quiet uncomfortable, strange shape, would rather have a comfortable chair in room no breakfast as promised. coffee, tea only -even though staff said several times there are danish every morning. - ran out of mini croissants very early woman behind desk said at 8:30 am it would take hours to thaw and bake more Don't tell everyone at check in they will have it so they can plan Trouble getting tv to work took over 45 mins to get it fixed Should have been checked before arrival as told "this happens all the time" Large abandoned hotel in front unappealing very busy 5 lane divided highway to enter, exit, cross No restaurant of coffee shop adjacent to this hotel as described in many listings

5/5 – Hidden Gem Near Springfield College! I stayed here this past weekend while visiting my son at Springfield College, and I was so pleasantly surprised! The hotel is only about 15 minutes from campus, tucked away in a quiet area but close to plenty of restaurants and shops. At $225 for the night, it was actually one of the cheapest options in the area (most others were $300+), but it far exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was excellent—the staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. They even greeted us with freshly baked cookies and a goodie bag that included water and chips, which was such a thoughtful touch. The lobby was stunning—modern, clean, and decorated in vibrant colors. There was complimentary coffee and water available, which added to the warm welcome. Our room was absolutely beautiful! It felt like a boutique hotel—clean, modern, and relaxing. They had his-and-hers robes with slippers, a luxurious rain shower in a sleek bathroom, and a modern sink setup. The bed was incredibly comfortable with four pillows plus two extra pillows already in the room (a big deal for a pillow lover like me!). One of the biggest surprises was the massaging chair—and wow, it was amazing! I sat in it for an hour, and my husband enjoyed it for two. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Other details I loved: • Huge flat-screen TV with both DIRECTV and streaming options like Netflix. • Free, fast Wi-Fi and easy login to my
