Everything was excellent except the breakfast was weak but the room price was very reasonable for what you got and you can easily walk two blocks down to Farmer Boy restaurant and get an awesome breakfast with the money you saved on the room. Best cinnamon roll ever!!

Nice spacious and clean room. Fit our needs perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only 'negative' was some of the parking spaces are small, so if someone doesn't park straight, you miss out on a parking spot.
