Had a great stay here for a long weekend! Staff was always welcoming at front desk, breakfast area was always clean and fresh food refilled. Rooms were serviced everyday by personable, happy staff. Small thing was that the rooms were cleaned much later in the day but not really an issue. Staff always available to replenish towels if needed. Lots of options for dining and shopping close by. Even a few chain restaurants within walking distance. Parking can be slight issue if you get home later like we did a few nights. There is another hotel that shares the parking lot so if both are filled parking is a problem. We are so happy that we stayed here and quite possibly will stay here again next year.
