I have stayed at this hotel many times and will continue to choose this hotel with any new trips I arrange. Every staff member I had encountered this trip was extremely courteous. Housekeeping came on a daily basis which was nice to have. The location of this hotel is in the middle of any retail or restaurant you can think of.

Parking was convenient, check-in and check-out easy. Breakfast buffet was yummy. Just wish they had coffee available in the lobby all the time and wish the restaurant/bar opened before 5. Beds/rooms were very comfortable, and the staff was wonderful about accommodating our requests (our friends' too).
