Stayed here for a week, and would highly recommend it to anyone. The staff were all very kind, and helpful. We found the rooms to be nice and clean, and comfortable.

We were celebrating our anniversary here and the womanbat the front desk blessed us with a king suite upgrade, it was so nice to have the extra living room space! Driver of the shuttle was very nice and the staff at the hotel and restaurant were top notch. Restaurant was great, way better than I thought based on the "diner" vibe.
