This hotel fit the bill for a two-night stay with my family. Parking and check-in were easy and the breakfast was good. I specifically liked the pancake machine. We didn't go to the pool, so can't give feedback on that. The room was clean, the bathroom was modern and nice, and the beds were comfortable. Staff was very friendly. The only snafu was at one point not all of our keys worked, but they corrected the problem right away. Would definitely stay here again!
