As everyone says, this place, in spite of the mushy beds and unnecessary $20/day parking fee (that isn’t shown on the Expedia price, deceptively hidden) and breakfast that ends — conviently for them at 9am, this place is still excellent. Well designed, quiet, not fancy but perfectly adequate for the businessperson it looks to have been built for.

I enjoyed the cleanliness of the property. Rooms were clean, new, and functional. It never felt crowded. Staff at front desk was helpful. but calls were not answered. Our TV kept shutting off every like 2 min. due to a faulty room key? My girls enjoyed their time at the hotel pool. The continental breakfast was generously stocked with delicious items for everyone, even picky eaters. The room was quiet except on Sat. morning, it was garbage pick up day at 7am apparently. I really liked the scent of the shampoo, conditioner, & body wash provided in the eco friendly large bottles in the rr. Restaurants were close by such as Panera and McDonalds, Starbucks, ect.
