My 2 cents
We had a pleasant stay and will stay again.There were a few cosmetic things that could be improved on; like where the carpet met the walls. And something i noticed was the door was obnoxiously loud on opening/closing, which for littles or the light sleeper might be disturbed. However the continental breakfast was AWESOME! They had an omelet station that was a great touch and a fountain pop machine as well.
