Staff is amazing. They lied about the trains before I booked I asked 3 times. I booked to get away from trains I was on the tracks you hear it. If they were honest I would have booked elsewhere. Staff is the best anywhere.

Stayed while doing college visits for Fairfield and Sacred Heart. Very clean hotel. Two sides of the property..one faces the river and train tracks and the other the street. We picked street side and it worked out perfectly. No noise issues or anything.
