I booked this hotel since I had a reunion/family visit. The room was clean & quiet. Room service was offered every day. Breakfast was good...hot food with a good variety...plenty of room to sit inside & outside on the patio. The front desk staff were always pleasant with a smile and an answer to any question I had. I would recommend this hotel.
