Our stay could not have been better! The hotel itself is lovely. Breakfast had a nice assortment. There was a nice pool. The free shuttle within 3 miles was a great convenience and the drivers were always friendly and helpful. Most of all, the staff were absolutely wonderful. They were friendly, warm, and caring, and helpful. My family was going through an extremely difficult situation, and the staff were so kind and gracious and did everything they could to help us out. We will be back!
