the staff was wonderful. The property itself was awesome. the breakfast, coffee and everything was fantastic. price compared to everything we got was awesome. I am actually going to now start using this hotel for my upcoming stays in other cities. The only negative was the mattress was so old and made noise and didn't match the quality of everything's else. and they offered the BEST cookies. Everyone at this place is kind, professional and friendly.
