The room was clean but it was too close to the office and parking lot so I could hear some noises and it bothers me a bit. However , the staffs were very kind and their services were great. In addition the included breakfast was so delicious and its presentation was excellent!

Staff was super nice from check in to check out. Very dog friendly, doggy bag given at check in and offered a dog bed and dog bowls as well. The included breakfast was also an incredible start to the day. I loved their small portion sizes and display. Definitely recommend.

The staff went above and beyond. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful We enjoyed the breakfast buffet very much. It is not your typical pastry, coffee and cold cereal. Something for everyone and if you have any dietary restrictions let them know and they will accommodate your needs. I don’t eat gluten myself and they went out of their way to bake some gf berry muffins for me!
