The staff at this property is top-tier! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Our room was lovely, clean and had all the amenities. Our stay included free breakfast, which was an added bonus. The attached restaurant and bar served as a great place to gather with friends. I would highly highly recommend this hotel.
