Hotel Lodging News

This hotel was recommended by coworkers that live in the Farmington/Bloomfield area. Hotel is extremely nice. There is a large indoor pool, fitness room, business center, and lots of table for the continental breakfast. Great selection of food and drinks for the continental breakfast. Exterior is beatiful, with easy access to main roads. Room was huge! The bathroom is sorta of an odd layout, with the sink outside that bathroom and right next to the front door. However, the rooms itselft was very large with a separate living and bedroom area. There was as wetbar, microwave, and refrigerator in the room as well. Free Wi-fi. I highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed here for two weeks, so can report this is a consistently good place to stay. It’s cozy (not too big), quiet, clean, and friendly. The free breakfast is good, and the free snacks really do make a difference. So nice when you just have to have something at night. The staff is friendly, helpful and pleasant. I really appreciated the shuttle bus, as it took me to the train station every day or into Old Town Alexandria, which was too far for me to walk. The location is excellent. There is a grocery about a block away which is another option for snacks or carry out food. There is plenty of free parking which appears to be rare around here. It’s quiet, even though it’s just off the main road, and it’s a lovely residential area. Oh, and the beds are comfortable, with thick fluffy comforters, the towels are nice, and the tv’s are new. Pretty much everything you could want.

The cleanliness of our room and the hotel in general was superb. The front desk staff was very helpful and housekeeping was as well. We will be happy to recommend you to our family and friends. Thanks again, Lynn G. Austin , Texas
