Frommer's Review

This family-owned chain looks all too generic outside, but inside is a pleasant surprise, with grander-than-expected public spaces and rooms that are fancier than those in the average chain, not to mention new beds. All have high ceilings (except for those on the fifth floor) and a decent amount of square footage, though rooms on the first floor can be dark with zero views. Bathrooms are small (with sinks in the dressing area). There is a nice little heated rooftop pool plus a small exercise room. Free popcorn and sodas are offered from 3 to 10pm, and a nachos-and-wine snack service goes from 5:30 to 7pm, touches that encourage guest socializing. Look for more specials, like 1 hour of free long-distance calling per night. All that plus a friendly staff and a generous comp breakfast makes this not a bad little bargain for the area.

Facilities:
Heated pool; exercise room; laundry/dry-cleaning services; washer/dryer

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
