We were traveling with our dog so liked having pet friendly rooms and a grassy area for the dog. The room was clean, quiet, and close to restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was very good with lots of options and adequate seating. Staff was helpful and considerate.

The grab handle in the shower was very much appreciated by my husband who has instability issues. Parking for an RV was rather tricky as there wasn't a large parking lot, but we managed to get the one spot that would work.
