My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, though spacious, could definitely use an update, but they were really big and met my expectations for the price paid. The service was excellent, especially in handling busy times and accommodating early arrivals. The location was convenient for attending the University of Delaware Football game, although the surrounding area was a bit wet. The dining experience was top-notch, offering hot and high-quality meals. Overall, a mixed but enjoyable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were very spacious and clean, but unfortunately had a strong vomit smell. On the bright side, the hotel offered complementary breakfast, free afternoon drinks, and tea/coffee/water in the rooms.
