This was a wonderful place to stay. All the employees were great and it’s a very nice hotel. We only had one complaint— what is up with the cheap pillows? We had a king size bed that had 4 toddler size pillows. They were not even standard size, and they were very wimpy. I have NEVER stayed anywhere that had pillows that terrible and small.
