For a chain/extended stay type hotel it was awesome. The staff was friendly, the evening complimentary happy hour was awesome and the complimentary breakfast served piping hot. And I don’t mean a bagel and some apple juice. I mean a full on hot breakfast: bacon, sausage, eggs and waffles. The room was clean and well maintained and I would definitely stay there again.

Staff were great! We enjoyed the grounds as it was nice to sit outside. We had easy access to parking. We enjoyed the bar and watching the World Series. Breakfast was lovely. The room layout was odd and the only reason not to give five stars. Having to walk through the bedroom to use the bathroom.
