"A clean place! I didn't see any yucky corners or forgotten surfaces. I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful hotel, which also contains the Optical Museum. WOW! I love how the historical features have been preserved, and importantly the Danbury marble fireplace which is a feature of the museum. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: after a long day of travel I wanted to hit the hot tub after dinner, but it closed at 9:00pm. If it weren't for the hot tub I would not have ended up here, so Expedia got me on that one. Another issue is that I was waiting at the front desk for twenty five minutes. Come to find out, those were the 25 minutes the pool area was getting locked down. I suggest accommodating adults who may come in late from long travels by keeping the hot tub and pool open until 10:00pm. Food: I had an outstanding Caesar salad for a very reasonable price, with wonderful service from Larry the bartender! Thank you, Larry! PS If they hadn't closed the pool down I would not have discovered the Optical Museum!"

"Old, tired, but clean. Cleaning person was very accommodating. Other staff were not very friendly. Continental breakfast was poor. If you're looking for an inexpensive overnighter this works. Otherwise for the extra money a more major hotel is a better bet."

"Completely dirty, stains on towels, stains on blankets, stains on the walls, holes, bad smells, leaking elevator ceiling when it rained, service was slow, everything was just terrible. When I came in to check in, no one was at the desk for a whole hour. Do not come here."
