We arrived to a clean room, a comfortable bed, and a friendly staff. Check in was quick and easy, the room is comfortable and the property is new and well maintained.
Great for traveling with youngish kids. Beds were comfortable, room was clean. The included breakfast was excellent too . The only downside was it was a little loud at night. It quieted down pretty quickly though. Would definitely stay again.
The breakfast was fresh each morning although, the oatmeal could have been cooked more. The pancake station was great and the orange juice was delicious. The indoor pool was open until 11PM which was good. The rooms were clean and very comfortable and low noise volume.
Excellent stay! The hotel was so clean and everything sanitized. I was amazed at how clean and pleasant our room was. The bed was comfortable which is a must. Best hotel I have stayed at in years. Thank you!!
Centrally located, friendly staff, excellent house keeping, clean facilities, very good breakfast, very comfortable mattress. I would stay here again and would give a high recommendation.
