I found the check in very impersonal. You enter the lobby and there is nobody there. You key in a number and a little door opens with your key. My room was on the second floor of an adjacent building and I could not find it. One of the other guests eventually showed me where my room was.

The most welcoming hotel we've ever stayed in. Rooms are clean and very well managed with all the amenities. Love the track lighting around the hotel. Someone put so much thought and care into this place. Wow! Weve been coming through for 57 years. Glad to find this gem. Thank you so much. The Millers
