hotel is clean and has a nice common area for our swim team to hang out in on our spare time.

Kevin United States of America

The hotel is only a block away from Montefiore hospital. Very convenient!

Amy United States of America

Staff were extremely nice, esp Anton at the front desk. I checked in after 9PM. My cc was declined at the fault of the cc company. They corrected the problem snd it went thru but I had to wait 20 minutes. I was upset because I was at the hospital all day and my car broke down on the 100 mile trip to Pittsburgh. When I explained the day I had, Anton brought me a card for a free drink snd the kind women at the bar made me a cup of coffee. They were wonderful
