The room was spacious but run down & outdated furniture and decor. Televisions are old and UNsmart with a big, cumbersome remote control. The desk staff was unfriendly; the girl didn’t even look up when handing us a fork from her drawer - she never got off the phone. Breakfast was super expensive ($17 for dry uncooked breakfast) but the bartender Tina was super sweet. Heated pool was a nice feature in the dead of a CT winter. Place really needs a fresh update.

Bring a night light.
Right off the highway, this hotel is perfectly situated. If you get up during the night for visits to the bathroom, I suggest bringing your own little nightlight. The room is super dark and there is only one super bright bathroom light.

Fridge was not cold, tv would not work unless I called the front desk. Pubic hair found in the shower on the shelf near the shower handles. Overall do enjoy the hotel with my prior stays. Just was not satisfied with this stay.

There were problems at check in (delays with the computer system) that the manager did not handle well and was very short and rude with the customers ahead of me in line. When it got to my turn I asked if he was the posted name of the manager on duty, since he was not wearing a tame tag. He said he was not. I then asked him his name and only then did he tell me. His attitude changed at that point; there was absolutely no need for him to behave so unprofessionally to customers checking in before I asked his name: no one waiting to check in was complaining and we were all very patient with the check in as we could see they were having problems The facility is very clean and well-equipped. My only recommendation is to skip the breakfast—they charge A LOT for what other hotels serve as their complimentary breakfast—the usual reconstituted eggs, microwaved sausage and bacon, and various defrosted breads and packaged muffins and cold cereal. You can find a much better breakfast much cheaper at any local restaurant. You can get eggs/omelettes cooked to order for an additional fee.

The stay was great. However our neighbor was very loud. Playing music at all hours of night and waking us up. I tried to use the room phone but was unable to call down to the service desk so II had to use my personal phone. Eventually someone came to the room to tell them to quiet down which I was appreciative of.

I was unsure of the quality given that it seemed somewhat remote and I had never stayed in Wallingford. I was there for a Homecoming weekend for my university and it was the closest hotel. The parking was easy, the front desk staff was very thorough, nice and quick to check-in. The only thing I didn't like, was the breakfast. It was more expensive than it needed to be. The ad says it is free, but what they fail to mention is that it is only free for special members. I think Diamond and Platinum? It was a buffet, so it was one price ($15 on average) and then beverages were separate. My only advice when you stay here is to read the fine print. Otherwise, I would stay here again.
