Great stay! Staff is very helpful and friendly . The amenities and accommodations are perfect for families! However the shower had hair from the previous guest. I would absolutely stay there again, and just ask to be moved to another room if I encounter hair in the shower again.

We loved this place. Room was spacious. It was very clean, the room as well as the premises. Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved that we could have over easy eggs, and veggie omelette. There were other omelettes available. Our stay included 2 drinks per day/per person at happy hour. They also had some cheese and crackers, fruit to accompany our delicious drink. Much appreciated. We’ll definitely recommend this hotel.
