Top 10 La Vita's Hotels

This property is basically the ideal mid-market, comfortable-but-not-fussy hotel. I stayed for two nights last month, and I was impressed by both the service and the room. After a quick and easy check-in, I headed up to my room, which was spacious, spotless, and well-considered. (The people at Marriott who design the SpringHill Suites brand clearly did a lot of market research to figure out what business travelers want; it's space, a good bed, a large desk, and a lot of power plugs.) Shortly after I got to my room, I got a call from the front desk asking if there was anything I needed. I haven't gotten a call like that in years, and I sometimes stay at much pricier, four-plus-star downtown hotels. And this call didn't feel perfunctory; the attendant really seemed to go out of her way, including at check-in, to see how she could help. Breakfast was meh, which was what I expected. But this impressed me: Shortly after breakfast closed, a colleague came down, looking forlorn that he had missed the cutoff. When he asked an employee who was cleaning up whether breakfast had closed (of course it had), the employee told him to wait right there, went into the back, and made him a breakfast sandwich. It was the sort of unnecessary, above-and-beyond service that you remember. So, the SpringHill Suites is not an elite resort or a unique boutique. But it is spacious, well-appointed, clean, and comfortable, with outgoing staff, and I'd go out of my way to stay there if I'm in the region again.

We stayed here for a high school athletic event. From blocking and reserving 20+ rooms with Ms. Jen B, Tricia offering the use of bistro area for our group breakfast/dinner, to checking in 40 teenagers with kindness, this hotel was extremely professional and supportive! Even the room assignment was very thoughtful, I could tell. We cannot thank you enough. As a group travel organizer, I was nervous coming here. But thanks to your help, everything went smoothly.

Check-in was very welcoming. Room was clean and had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable for me. I have a hard time getting to sleep but the comfort was a huge plus. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast because of my irregular sleep habits but definitely will in the future. Mary S, Mary O and Beth are very accommodating friendly and pleasant. I loved the quiet heating system (I can't say that enough). It's very important to an insomniac.

Very clean hotel. Good water pressure in the shower the room upgrade will get you a lot of space - it’s worth it! The bathrooms are large. The AC worked well in our room and the shower head was high (for tall people). Elevators moved quickly. The staircases were clean and well lit and easy to access too. Parking is easy. Pool is indoors but there’s a great fire pit outside.

I took my granddaughters here for a much-needed night of rest, relaxation and fun. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean, felt very safe, was quiet... lots of small touches like giving us each a bag with water and chips when we came in. The beds were very comfortable. There was a nice indoor pool. There was a very nice breakfast included - tons of choices! Really, really nice stay. I will definitely go back.
