"The rooms are cozy and quite large. Our room included a fridge and microwave. I love how the shower had the option for the water to come from above you as well as through a nozzle. The bed was extremely cozy. Plenty of parking which was nice. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The complimentary drink and appetizer was awesome! The bartender was very friendly and attentive. The breakfast is a gourmet meal; definitely nothing like Continental. Would definitely recommend!"
