Best hotel in the area!!

Check in was easy -the girl at the desk was super pleasant, professional and helpful! The room was newly renovated, super clean and comfortable. Many options for breakfast- eggs and sausage were hot, fresh and terrific. The girl who ran the service was on top of everything so it really was an enjoyable meal.
