I think this hotel was one of the best I've ever stayed at. The staff was amazing. The rooms were clean and it felt comfortable staying there. They do serve breakfast but I didn't get a chance to experience it. I will definitely keep this hotel in mind if I'm back down that way. Keep up the amazing job.
