All staff were kind and attentive. The room and hotel property were clean. They were so great answering questions. The breakfast buffet was better than any other we have been to and a nice dining area. Nice towels and bed linens. Thank you for not entering our room daily, it was nice to just request clean towels and new trash bags. It would be nice if the room could have a small table and 2 chairs instead of the couch/divan and padded table that was in the extra area. The bathroom walls, and under the sink/counter could be touched up. We plan to return.

The shower has the best pressure and hot water temp was perfect! The beds are comfy and rooms spacious. There were a couple issues but something easily missed and corrected. Nice area for a walk. Breakfast is 6am to 9am, so they appeared to be out of some items by 8:30 but still choices for a little something before getting on the road. I'll stay here again!

Good for short trip

The overall condition of the property was a bit challenging, which made it hard to determine how clean the place actually is. The breakfast was unimpressive. It was obvious that staff work really hard to keep the place up and to accommodate guests. Hopefully management rewards their efforts.
