Breakfast iopyions were great all weekend. Room was spacious and clean.
Fantastic hotel and staff! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the hotel is very clean and nicely renovated and the attached restaurant is well priced and convenient. We had a great stay along with our dog and would choose this hotel 100% of the time!
Beds were uncomfortable. Also, a very loud party was allowed to be held late into the night keeping guests awake until almost 1 am. It was rude, and I’m upset that the desk clerk did nothing to shut it down.
Hotel was clean and well supplied. The bed was so comfortable!!! 10/10 .Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was always good, plenty of options. My kids especially loved to make their own pancakes!
