Our hotel was amazing. It was also very handicapped accessible for my son and his wheelchair. I have to commend the breakfast manager that morning. He really took pride in his work and offered to assist me I had just broken my wrist.

This is our second stay here. Pleasant and nice hotel
1-night trip

10/10

The place was spotless top to bottom. There was plenty of staff. Breakfast was hot and ready at 6:01 if you are an early riser. My only issue was the doors shut very loud. The auto locking feature of the door wouldn’t let you “hold the handle” to help with a soft close. Very popular with traveling athlethic teams.
