We got there and the young lady at the front desk greeted us with a smile. She asked why we were there and I told her my child wanted to stay at a hotel. She made it a point to greet him and make him feel happy to be there. The room was spotless. The beds were not super soft but not too firm either. The next morning we didn't know where to go for breakfast and the valet guy was very nice and recommended a few spots. It was a wonderful experience. We would definitely go back.
