I stayed here for a wedding. Everything was clean and people were friendly. There was also a decent continental breakfast. One thing that stuck out, my boyfriend forgot his key while I fell asleep and he went to the parking lot. He called and knocked but I slept through it so he had no choice but to talk to the desk. They were worried about my safety so when they did let him in, they insisted they speak to me directly to make sure I was okay and he wasn’t a stranger. Although it was an inconvenience for my boyfriend, I am happy they make sure all their guests are safe.
