Wry accommodating for our stay while in the area - the breakfast options were plentiful and the common areas were clean and well maintained. The $10 parking fee added to our reservation was a surprise, however.

The hotel was extreamly nice and clean. The continental breakfast was excellent. Check in was fast and easy. Now the bad, The guest check in people said that I can have Have a millitary discount as Im a veteran. They even said that my rate was high. Then when checking out, a new guest checkout person said that they could not do anything about the discount. That the managers looked into it but could not give it to me. A bunch of garbage. Why say you would, then do noting?? I guess it was a inconvenieence to even try.

The hotel itself is nice and the staff are extremely kind and welcoming. My only issue was the breakfast. The food was dry and not very tasty.
