A Mixed Blessing: The arrangement in the bathroom was strange--little to no counter space. There was no closet in the suite. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The couch sunk so low that it was a challenge to get up unaided... Although along a busy highway, our suite was very quiet.. The staff were so pleasant. The food was amazing.

Would have given 5 stars, but the restaurant inside is way too expensive for the quality of food you receive. This is my 2nd or 3rd time staying here, it really is a nice place and I'll stay here again. The rooms are very clean and freshly updated. I'm not a fan of the "barn door" style bathroom doors that hotels are going to
