Would Stay Again

Front desk was very friendly. Let us leave our bags while we waited for our check-in time later in the day for a small fee. Room was clean with plenty of plugs, wi-fi, and comfortable beds. Our breakfast was good. There were choices for most, if not all, diets.

Gem of a Spot' Avoid 2nd Floor

Great location and wonderful facility. Clean. Convenient. Loved the wine in the lobby. Modern amenities. I was on the 2nd floor which opens to the lobby area. Skip that -- you could hear a lot of noise. Not bad, just ask for a different floor.
