This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at in recent memory. I have spent several nights at this hotel recently. The service was excellent, breakfast was by far the best. Staff were all friendly, courteous and patient with my circumstances. Because of this, I chose to give them more business the next time I was passing through.

The walls of the room were pretty thin in the back building. We also had a fan that sounded like an airplane taking off. Luckily it wasn’t too hot and could turn it off while sleeping. Tried to get dinner at the Bennigan’s attached and was never seated along with a few other families. Not a great stay
