I love this place! I've stayed here twice to break up a long trip. It's the perfect place to relax. It's not within walking distance of anything, but you don't need to leave the hotel - the bar and restaurant in the hotel are perfect. I highly recommend this place.

We have stayed multiple times and will be back. Uts always nice and quiet with clean rooms. The only minor issues we have are there are no hooks to hang towels. They do have dinner at the on-site restaurant but a hit or miss.
