My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The breakfast wasn't perfect, but a few seconds in the microwave made the bagels and muffins better. The location is convenient, close to the North White Plains Metro-North RR, but the surroundings are quite desolate. The dining experience, with some basic offerings and day-old pastries, was okay for a quick bite. Overall, it's a decent choice for a stay despite some drawbacks.

Staying at this hotel was quite an experience. The rooms gave a light open feeling with big windows, and the furniture was functional and nice. The lack of a remote for the TV and the inconvenient air conditioner were minor drawbacks. The kitchenette was well-equipped and convenient, offering a full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffeemaker, and range.

6.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were large, very clean, and offered a light open feeling with big windows, but unfortunately, I had to deal with a missing TV remote and an air conditioner without a thermostat, making it a challenge to adjust throughout the night. The service was pleasant and accommodating, with helpful staff and a range of amenities available, including a comfortable bed and functional heater. The location, although close to public transportation, felt desolate with limited nearby options, making it a less vibrant choice. The dining experience left something to be desired, with a below-par selection of food and a setup that could use some improvement. Despite these drawbacks, it still provided value for money in certain aspects.

The breakfast options are not perfect, but the bagels and muffins can be enjoyable after a quick warm-up in the microwave. The rooms have big windows that offer a light and open feeling, although there were issues with the windows and the cleanliness of mattresses and box springs. The service was friendly and efficient, with comfortable spacious rooms and basic kitchen amenities, though there were some delays due to unexpected situations. The location is inside the city of White Plains, offering a bright atmosphere with adequate food options, but it may feel somewhat desolate with limited attractions nearby. The dining experience could use improvement in presentation and quality, with some basic offerings left out in the open.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was large and clean, though a bit shabby in some areas. The 24/7 Wi-Fi access was a plus, but the bathrooms were so dirty that I chose not to shower. The service started off great with friendly and helpful staff, but some rudeness surfaced during an issue. The location was bright and convenient with good food options nearby, yet not the most affordable. The dining experience was okay but could use some improvements to reach a higher level. Overall, a mixed bag of experiences during my stay.
