Everything was wonderful at this hotel. The location was perfect, the staff is so nice and kind. Clearly the best staff I have encountered at a hotel by far. The price per night is exceptionally fair. The breakfast is fabulous. Good quality hot and cold food. The rooms are clear, updated, comfortable and roomy. The grounds were pleasant and the parking was great. They don't charge for parking which is an added plus. I highly recommend this hotel!
