Our "Groups" are Talking . . .

"Great Staff....Very accomodating! Our boys lacrosse team spent 3 nights over the new year at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful the entire time and they really knew how to handle large groups as 3 other teams were staying here too. The morning breakfast was great and they knew how to feed a large group of hungry boys. They offered two different hot choices every day along with "make your own" Belgian waffles. Various juices, yogurt, fresh fruit and many different pasteries and bagels were available. They even stayed open late one morning untill 10:45 to accomodate our game schedule. Again, they really went out of their way to make everyone happy. The rooms were nice, a typical Hampton room with a mini fridge. . . Overall, a great place to stay with pleasant people so willing to go out of their way for you!"
