Not the usual good experience

Clean and well maintained. Breakfast area and food were better than most hotels. Mist of all the young man at the front desk was outstanding. My husband’s wallet fell out of his pocket while we were packing the car to leave. This young man called us and held it until we could drive back. We so appreciated his efforts and honesty.

The only thing I have is the door regulator on the rooms. It’s EXTREMELY STRONG making it hard to open and clumsy as well…. I want in and the door is saying “NO…STAY OUT” as it’s trying to close. It knocked me back into the hallway the first time as I had my hands full.
