Very nice hotel. Everything was great. Only wish they offered a breakfast service. No breakfast is offered but have local places a short walk away. When I called to request having my brother and sister in law’s room near our room, the male associate sounded very impatient with me. Not as customer friendly as all the other employees. Everyone else was wonderful.

Loved that the room had hard floor. A dimmer in bathroom was helpful! Easy to clean. Wish there was a mini-refrigerator that includes freezer. It had a small chiller. Having breakfast available / included would be nice.
