Quick weekend

The hotel was very nice. The room was clean and mostly quiet. Only issue I had was the front desk staff. He was not rude just inattentive and short. We would stay here again.

Perfect stay for a girls getaway!

This hotel was absolutely amazing. Stayed jan 31st-feb 2nd and it was PERFECT stay from start to finish. Welcoming and accommodating staff, excellent options for the complimentary breakfast, able to park ( for free) right by the door leading to my room and the room was spacious and comfy for 4 women. Even their coffee was excellent. Will definitely stay again if in the area!!!!
