What an amazing stay we had! Within walking distance to downtown, so we didn't have to mess with parking when we wanted to go downtown! Amazing amenities from a home-cooked breakfast every morning, to freshly baked sweets in the afternoon and a coffee bar 24 hrs a day. All the employees were so kind and helpful! We loved every bit of our time there!
