"This was our first stay at this property and we were pleasantly surprised how nice it was. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the restaurant food was very good and the room was very nice. The only thing that might be feedback is the public areas are a bit tired, the carpet in the hallways was older but clean. Overall, very good property."
