We stayed at this hotel for my sister's college graduation. It was great because it was so close to campus and we didn't have to hastle with parking, and if the kiddos got restless we could return to the hotel.
We were and extended family (2 nuclear families with kids and my unmarried siblings). Each family got a basic room and my parents got a suite with a pull out couch (for my brothers). There is a carry out pizza place a few blocks away on E. Genessee where we ordered pizza - my sister loved the breakfast pizza.
The hotel provided pack and play travel cribs that were clean and in good condition. They have an airport shuttle. There is a CVS within walking distance for various forgotten baby items, wipes, Motrin, etc.
Be prepared to spend an arm and a leg and reserve the room a year in advance. We called well in advance of a year and they told us the day they would begin taking reservations. We were sure to call back first thing that morning.
