The room was very clean, quiet and had comfy beds. The staff was very friendly and efficient. It was so nice to have on site, free parking. The continental breakfast is top notch - equal to any other I’ve had. This was all for a very affordable price. We will stay here every time we are back in town.
Everything here is great! We always stay here when we come to town, it’s our favorite spot. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are great, and the breakfast is really yummy. Parking is so handy, we love the quiet hours. One of our favorite places to stay!
Fabulous hospitality, great facilities and room. Special shout out- I was in a hurry and needed laundry and the host let me in the laundry room a little early to help me in a pinch to get my clothes cleaned before having to keep traveling. That was next level service.
Also, the kitchen staff ladies allowed my wife and I to eat and even get an extra biscuit and extra bacon that was already put away. We arrived at 10:03am but the two ladies were so sweet and gracious to us. Muy fantastico.
