There was popcorn on the floor on 2 for our entire stay when the cleaning crew was cleaning the rooms in that area. I assumed they were going to vacuum it and it remained for the weekend. Also the breakfast was not good as the eggs ran out and took too long for them to add to the buffet so we did not eat at the hotel. The oranges were old and browning. Not fresh.

You might as well say breakfast not included. The biscuits were hard, the electric pancake machine was never filled, the turkey sausage was clearly heated and reheated, and I question whether or not it was from what was left over the day before. The room had a stale smell, the bathroom had rust in the shower, and the ceiling was peeling with cracks in it from water damage. The cleaning crew were very friendly and the front desk clerks were kind as well, however, they have no control over the cosmetic or conditional state. That's management caring about the upkeep. You're in a lovely area. It wouldn't hurt to do some deep cleaning, touch ups, a coat of paint, and care. You'd get more people coming to you then going across the street to the Hilton Garden.

The desk clerk at check-in was very helpful, friendly, & even helped us with pizza suggestions!

The breakfast was great & the attendant was pleasant even when some people seemed to be rude!

Loved that there was always coffee available!

Will consider this property again when visiting family!

Room clean and spacious! Staff very friendly. Breakfast manager seemed annoyed and kept cutting guest off to reload food -no “excuse me”. Pancake maker was not working :( otherwise great stay- check in was a breeze and able to get in room early

On a 6-day trip, this was by far the best hotel. The room was large and well furnished. It was a little farther from the VT campus than others, but well worth the extra distance (1/2 mile?). Good breakfast.

The breakfast could be better. Yes, it was fresh, but it could have more healthy options like adding dried fruits and nuts to the oats, more fruit options. And more pastries and more wholewheat bread/Otherwise, breakfast was good enough.

The check-in gentleman was so kind and fixed us up in seconds, as we arrived at 3 AM and were exhausted. Would stay again!

The room size is decent, and it’s conveniently located near V.Tech University. However, there were a few issues that could be improved. First, there was hair on the pillowcases, which raises concerns about the cleanliness of the room. Second, the breakfast lacked hospitality. They had a couple of dried fruits in a basket. Missing basic items, there was no butter, salt, or pepper on the counter, and only a few salt and pepper shakers were spread out at a few tables, making it difficult to ask for them every time. Also, there were only a few pieces of bread left. We came at a decent time, around 9 a.m., for breakfast, and it was crowded too. It would be nice if they refilled the items at least, looking at the crowd.

Breakfast was great with a lot of options. The cook was friendly and nice. We had a good stay but our room was not as cleaned as it should be. When we arrived our bed looked like the comforter was just thrown over the sheets. The sheets were hanging out and looked messy. The pulled out couch was filthy. We couldn’t sleep on it. The bedding was stained with what looked like blood, we removed that only to discover the mattress filled with food crumbs and when we turned over the mattress to shake it off it was even more filthier underneath. I informed the front desk Saturday morning and requested it to be cleaned but it never was done. Also, our vanity sink was clogged, we informed front desk two times and it was never taken care off. We would have had a better stay if it wasn’t for these issues.

Great stay. It's been over 20 years since I graduated from VT so needless to say, things have changed. The young lady at the front desk gave great local restaurant recommendations for dinner, so we could avoid going to a typical chain or my old dive bar hangouts (which are still around). Rooms were clean, modern, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included and better than the standard bagel, muffin, cereal breakfasts we normally get to experience. Would definitely stay here again.
