We couldn't make it due to a family emergency and a winter snowstorm, and the hotel was very understanding and very easy to work with. If I need a hotel in the area in the future this hotel will be my 1st choice.

Nice location. Hotel clean and well lit. Paint fumes from remodeling were a bit much but temporary. Not a lot of selection with the hot breakfast but what they offered was good. I’m a biscuits and gravy Southern boy. Overall I would stay here again.
