The hotel was very conveniently located, lots of stuff to do nearby. The staff were so friendly checking in and out was a breeze. Parking was very convenient. The room was very clean and spacious. But the best part were the beds!! By far the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in during a hotel. The pillows were perfect, I usually bring my own, and I never even used it! The mattress was the perfect combination of firm but soft. I would definitely stay here again and again!!
