We loved the spacious King suite room. So clean and comfy. The bed and sheets were amazing. We also appreciated the in room Kerug machine with a variety of coffee and teas to choose from. Staff was friendly and professional and the breakfast buffet is wonderful. We stayed two nights and really loved all the choices for breakfast. My fiancé loved the coffee machines in lobby where you brew you own from fresh beans. Outstanding. Will stay again when we visit next.
