This was one of the better hotels I have stayed lately. The location is safe and quiet, the room is very nice, and the staff was great. The maid even followed me to my car to return a piece of clothing I left in the room. I highly recommend!

we stayed there a week for Junior Olympics. Nice new clean property. The breakfast was average but decent enough for most (waffles, eggs bacon, biscuits and gravy). Found the coffee to be real good. Chris the manager was also very responsive and friendly.

This hotel is a beautiful hotel only about 1 year old. It is very clean, location off the main street, and easy parking. Also, it is located next to a great bar/restaurant, Walgreens, and other facilities nearby. My only concern is that although, the front desk staff was very nice and friendly I felt the professionalism could be improved. Early in the morning I waited for someone to return to the front desk only to see they had been getting there breakfast at the dining room area. I would think meal breaks would not be during there shift and at the front desk.
