Great place to stay while visiting our son close by. Lots of food options within walking distance. Free breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had! Delicious! Staff was very kind and helpful. Room was clean and well stocked. Only complaint would be we tried to use the hot tub 3 different days but it was cold on each occasion so we could not.
