"Driving up to this hotel, you question the good reviews and the photos. It looks like an abandoned apartment building. Very dated. The hotel is clearly in the beginning stages of a remodel. They seem to need the business to help pay for it. The loby was nice and clean and the staff was super nice.Our room #200 for two adults with a king bed had fresh paint. I am assuming newer furniture, but it was pretty beat up. The linens were thin, and bedspread was dated. The carpet was very stained. Have flip flops on hand. The bathroom was painted, and the cabinet and shower title looked newer, but the sink and tub were skipped. The tub was stained. There was a window unit. It kept the room cool. We had a view of the lake and the pool.The lake is not accessible. There is a pool off to the side in a field? Pool access is to walk out the front door, through the parking lot, and across the grass through construction tape. It has weird hours. It looked clean and had chairs but no umbrellas. No shade.The bar is only open early in the week.Behind the hotel they had a firepit with Adirondack chairs that looked nice. No access from the back of the hotel.The gym was across from our room. Basic needs covered.The area is a business park, but if you walk down a quarter mile or so, there is a nice park. Nice neighborhood with many people out enjoy the day walking and jogging.We stayed two nights. No maid service. Not a room to hang out in. Just sleep. This is a one night get in late sleep and get back to the road trip.If you are picky this may not be the hotel for you.Room was clean and safe.No frills and no breakfast."

"Was in NYC for a business trip and spent the day in Brooklyn. Googled best pizza places and on each search Dellarocco 's popped up so we decided to give it a try. We dined with gusto starting with drinks, an app, a pizza and desserts. Cute place located in the darling neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. A nice spot with a bar and outside sidewalk dining as well. I had a Prosecco and the Hubs a beer (the Brooklyn lager on tap). Hubs drank it but it was off and they graciously replaced it gratis with another; a Coney Island IPA. We started with the crostini and man; was it damn tasty. Hands down one of the best apps we 've ever had. Each was unique in flavor and the bread fantastic. We ordered a pizza to share (plenty with 3 slices each). While the pizza was good; it wasn 't great. It 's def more of an artisanal pizza cooked in a brick oven. I prefer my crust a little more heartier and cooked. If that 's your jam than so be it; order away. The dessert was freaking fantastic! The gelato was THE most nicely presented gelato we 've ever seen and darn tasty too. Our server was sweet, friendly and super attentive. The drawback and only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was another staffer who we referred to as the hoverer . Never have we been made to feel rushed and hurried to finish so he could take away our plates. He was always in our general vicinity sweeping, wiping down a chair and brushing away (I think imaginary) crumbs. It put a damper on our overall experience. Honestly we 'd def return and do an app and dessert. Filling, tasty food in a clean, enjoyable neighborhood. Two thumbs up!"
