Moonstone Landing

"I have stayed in a lot of hotel rooms across the country this last year and I'm always disappointed by the beds, but not here! The room was so clean, there were no dust bunnies or loose hair anywhere to be seen. The bed was extremely comfortable and the sheets and linens were the perfect weight and comfort. I especially liked the small touches of the front desk offering local baked goods, both evening and morning, as a complementary part of our stay. I would return to this hotel anytime and I would highly recommend it to my family and friends."
