THE STAFF - Annette and T (I think - morning staff) was phenomenal! Made our mornings so special. Helped us when we needed an early breakfast before heading out. Went way beyond the call of duty. Didn't like the fact that there was no closet. There was 6 coat hangers and several wall knobs for clothes to hang which was ok but would prefer a little different.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Everything was clean and well-maintained, which made for a relaxing environment. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay — always greeting with a smile and ready to assist with anything I needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant, hassle-free experience.
