Recent reno of the lobby area. Well done, nice. Indoor heated pool, spacious and comfortable. Exercise area looks good, just not my thing. Lots of meeting space. Great bar and restaurant, diverse menu.

Rooms recently had a refresh. I typically end up with the "32" suite. Well appointed, comfortable, sofa, refrig, microwave. Large desk, but I actually prefer the lounge chair here so I can work and watch TV. Outlets in LR are minimal, but some rooms have a new outlet bunch on the table with 4 outlets and 2 USB slots. All the BR also have the same. The GREATEST thing I have NEVER seen elsewhere. The BR has a thermostat RIGHT next to the bed. I prefer to sleep in a cold room with the fan on. This allows me to turn off the fan, raise the set temp, check email and only get out of bed when the room is warm after 5-10 minutes. GENIUS.

Breakfast buffet is decent, but always the same, real eggs, potatoes, bacon/sausage and french toast. It is full, not continental.

Another great thing I have lucked out on, when you do MAGC, they still fresh your room, make the bed, trash, replenish water. My work is in New Haven, I CHOOSE to drive the 20 minutes to this property. Tracy and Yvonne care about their guests and work hard to make it right.
