I really liked how the room was designed for quiet and privacy. The bed was comfortable. Management let me change rooms immediately when there was a dog barking in a room on my floor. I thought the breakfast was about the best hotel breakfast I have ever had. The place was extremely clean.

Very clean rooms and everything a traveler needs. Couldn't expect more for what you pay. Lot of people parked illegally in loading zone out front and in parking lot. Was there all weekend and many cars sat that way for long periods of time and nothing was done about it. Limiting options of those coming and going and where to park as the parking lot size isn't huge. Management needs to grow a set
