Overall it was a really nice stay. The property is pet friendly which was a huge plus. The rooms are updated but not entirely. Some of the furniture could benefit from being replaced. I did appreciate the hard wood floors a lot since most hotels nearby don’t have them. There was plenty of parking and the WiFi worked great. I would definitely stay here again.
