The staff was very friendly and kind. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and welcomed with friendly smiles. The lobby was very clean. The room was very clean and spacious. I found it very peaceful. I just got off a 10 night shifts in a row from the hospital and I wanted to go somewhere to relax. I got just that and was able to just enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you and I will be coming back soon.

This property was amazing! Megan at the front desk was so incredibly helpful during our stay, staff and housekeeping were excellent. Rooms are great, the beds are so comfortable and the sheets are the most comfortable sheets we’ve ever slept in. We bought 2 sets to take home! The bar downstairs was great and the pool area and the grounds are beautiful. We will now make this our return hotel each time visiting my grandmother.
