Inn at Bellefield / Hyde Park, Residence Inn by Marriott
Great stay, hotel was very well appointed and well priced. My only nitpick was the condition of the pull-out mattress which had several stains and food particles folded up in it. Not the end of the world, but a little more attention when preparing the room for the next guest couldn’t hurt.
