I've stayed here twice in the last month. Overall the hotel is quite nice. It's best feature is the location, and ease of getting to and from the local Amtrack station. Check in is quite nice and easy, and the front desk, and front help are well, helpful and kind. The negatives. Water pressure in the showers is abysmal. I wish I was exaggerating, showering took ages longer than it should have. My first trip there, the room wasn't serviced the first four days, only being done the day before leaving For the resort fees amount charged to stay there, especially when the pool is closed for the season, they could really do a little more in the lobby, maybe free water, free small snacks in the morning, anything! The hotel bar is rarely open, though it is nice to sit there, and watch a game with a bunch of other folks

Well almost perfect
Small and convenient but the maid and Handy man need to check this room. I advised the front desk at check out. The art bar isn't open on Sunday but they charge a fee that can only be used there.
