I had forgotten to complete the reservation and when we reached the hotel we didn’t have a reservation. I jumped on Expedia and booked a room at considerably less than the available rate at the hotel.

Great stay

Gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming. Check in was quick. Hotel was clean and quiet. Our room was clean. Bed was too hard for my liking but that was my only issue (and I'm a wuss).
