“A really nice hotel with great rooms and a friendly helpful staff. Breakfast was very good with a wide assortment of items to select from. There is a bar on site that also serves pizza and sandwiches. I had the King size suite with kitchenette. Room was very spacious and comfortable. Kitchenette was stocked with everything you would need to feel at home,,, including a dishwasher. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are ever in the area.”
