Cute and staff is very friendly. Ample hotel parking and they've recently remodeled in the last couple of years. Rooms have easy access for outlets, you can get water from the front desk, chill in the courtyard, and the morning breakfast was amazing. Will be looking to stay here again. The rooms were very well-designed and comfortable bedding.
