Good stay
My stay was good the hotel was very clean downstairs. The room was clean and comfortable. The biggest thing that stuck out was how much room they offer to work with many areas for small groups to work or individuals.

Nice place!
The hotel was very nice. We stayed in the handicap accessible room on the first floor. Room was very comfortable, quiet and the bathroom was what we needed…walk in shower with detachable shower wand, handrails all around shower as well as the toilet! Bed was nice. Only con was no upholstered chair just one desk roller chair…which we ended requesting another desk chair. It is kind a difficult for handicap ones to sit on the bed to get dressed or watch tv without a chair and if 2 stay in the room it would be nice to have 2 chairs. The hotel staff was wonderful in bringing the extra chair. Breakfast was amazing…nice choices…egg omelets, potatoes, pork sausage, bacon, biscuits & gravy. Cereals, assortment of breads, cinnamon rolls, juices, coffee and teas. Would recommend to stay!
