All Around Great Experience
Hotel was VERY clean, in an excellent location and staff were exceptionally friendly both when we checked in and out. Location was quiet, offered easy access to town/sites and afforded ample parking 24/7. Above all, beds were so, so comfortable with plenty of pillows. There was an in-room fridge we really appreciated. And the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with delicious-smelling products. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for future visitors!
Great room. Beakfast was great. Would definitely stay again
