The staff was great. Anytime I asked for towels it was accommodated. The downside is the carpet in the room was never vacuumed and the floors were sticky.

Loud but stylish

Room was beautiful but the walls and floors are thin. We heard people in the halls and above us walking. It isn’t a quiet hotel but nice in all other ways. Didn’t get a good nights rest.

This property was conveniently located to the State Parks we like to visit. The hotel was exceptionally friendly. It was very clean. The breakfast had so many options and was quite good, and there was spacious seating for the breakfast buffet which we appreciated. The coffee was really good. Beds were soft. Pillows were perfect. It was an excellent experience and we will be back for Memorial Day weekend.

Comfortable beds is just the beginning. Its quiet, clean, staff is friendly amd helpful, continental breakfast was good and the location was perfect for just a quick trip to downtown for shopping. Also, the resturant across the street gives a small discount if your staying here. Cant wait to ho back!
