The property itself was very clean, the staff at the front desk were very nice, BUT there was a middle school aged sports team staying on our floor who were very loud and inconsiderate. We had to ask them several times to please be quiet. The poor woman at the front desk had to come up twice and another guest called the police and they were still ignoring all of this until well after 11pm. It was very rude and we are very tired today.

I love Utica but I also know it can have some edges . . . So, I was pretty grateful for the smooth location and vantage of this hotel (along with the pleasant staff) which made for a friendly weekend home.

Free breakfast should go till later
My stay was pretty good the room wasn't as clean as it had been in the past. Most of the furniture was quite dusty. Tho happily the bathroom was clean and the beds are very comfortable. I do feel like the free breakfast should be available until a I'm leaving Utica now so I'll it will be late when I get home plus I'm already so wiped out. I'm sorry I would have loved to see everyone time. Being several times I've missed it because I'm trying to pack and checkout therefore it is very hard to get down for breakfast in time
