Ricky at the front desk checked us in, he is an amazing representative of your hotel. Kind, welcoming, prepared, addressed us by name and is the epitome of what a person working in hospitality should be. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. Pancake machine was out, coffee ran out and the food didn't seem as fresh as it could have been. Otherwise this is a very nice hotel and we would stay there again.

Very quiet, almost a woodland setting. Great amenties, even a bar that was cozy and surprisingly busy. Above average breakfast that was restocked several times. The staff at this place seemed to care that travelers had a nice, restful stay.
