Generous with Towels!

Front desk staff was friendly and professional. They recommended a local restaurant (Cornerstone) that was within walking distance of hotel. Food and service was great there too! Hotel was clean and my favorite part was that they gave us a lot of towels which always is a plus. Would stay again in our travels!
