The staff were absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful 2 night stay. The rooms were very clean, the beds super comfy and the towels fluffy and fresh. All staff said hello and asked if we needed anything. Gave helpful directions and recommendations for places to eat and see. They even left a birthday banner, card and balloons for my son as a surprise for his birthday, it was so thoughtful and made his day. We will definitely be back.

Very clean tidy comfortable room! Very easy check in. Was better than expected! Only negative is someone in the room near us was blasting music and singing kareoke most of the night so we didn’t get much sleep. Stricter rules for being quiet after 10pm would have made this experience much better.
