The room was clean, spacious and included a microwave and refrigerator. The towels were fluffy and clean the amenities in the room were abundant. Staff were friendly and had a plethora of information on places to visit and restaurants to try. The area felt safe and the grounds of the hotel are immaculate.
Continental Breakfast was delicious. Eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns. Waffles, oatmeal, fresh fruit, breads, cereal. Plenty of options.
Memorabilia in the rooms and the hallways.
The grounds are flawless.
