This was the best hotel I've stayed in for a long time! We traveled with our adult kids and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We noticed that the hotel was well maintained and the staff was very friendly. The daily housekeeping service was amazing! It was so nice to come back to a clean room each night with the beds made. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in town to visit family.
