Our room was clean and pleasant, our stay was fantastic for as short notice as we had to get this room. The staff also helped me print something out that I needed for an event I was in town for, as I'd printed too small and they were so gracious to assist. Thank you all again for our stay, we'll see you next time we are in town to visit family.

Pretty decent stay. Breakfast was good. The pool was cold and there was no carpet in the room. However the service and hospitality made me forget my concerns.
