The front desk service here is exceptional; the gentleman who checked me in was amazing and truly made me feel at home. I really appreciated the hot food options for breakfast in the lobby, and while there wasn't an outdoor dining area, there was a great grassy spot outside that was perfect for my dog. Very welcoming stay!
