Another excellent stay at our favorite hotel. Benjamin was the perfect host and helped us with our room and parking pass. We always ask for the same room, as it was the first one we occupied, and is perfect for our needs. We were glad to have such a welcoming host and have already made another reservation.

This is a great location with a full kitchen. The front desk staff were amazing. However, there was no propane in the grills and it took 2 days for staff to address the issue. The carpet in our room was absolutely filthy and the room seemed rather worn. It looked like other rooms had wooden flooring so it may be just the room we had to unfortunately stay in for that week.
