This was the best hotel, rooms very clean and no cleaning product odor?! The gal who checked us in was extremely pleasant and helpful. Slept the best in the comfy bed with soft and fluffy pillows and cozy comforter. And to top it off, the breakfast buffet was wonderful, everything full and delicious. Kitty, the attendant was amazing, she has everything in order and was kind to the guests. 5 stars for Kitty and the entire staff any this great hotel. Hope we get to come back here and enjoy the hospitality again soon.
