Where to begin… this hotel had the most comfortable bed and pillows, breakfast buffet was fantastic and tasty even had healthy options, very clean and updated, very friendly staff. Coffee was awesome. The only negative was the gym did not have sanitary wipes and/or spray to wipe down equip and mat before and after using but still had nice usable machines. Small area but worked. I may be to picky. But all in all 10 out of 10 for the stay.
