This place is always our go to place to stay when we are in the area. The location is perfect for our trip. Walking path/bike path right outside of the hotel. Places to eat within walking distance. Activities for the kids to do as well. This particular stay was better than usual as the helpers during breakfast were exceptionally polite with my daughter and even made her hot chocolate to go with her breakfast.

My son throw-up at night. I called front desk to provide me with new bedding. I was told they only have sheets and 1 little blanket. No one available to bring it our room. We had to go to the office to pick it up. I think they should have complete extra beddings in case of emergency.
