"We were very impressed with this hotel. My mom said this was the best hotel that she had stayed at in years. She was really impressed with how brightly lit the room was. There were full size mirrors behind the beds with full length lights behind the beds. They were also recess can lights throughout the room. It smelled clean and fresh. It was absolutely perfect. We would love to stay there again. The breakfast was amazing! Delicious hot eggs, biscuits, gravy, bagels with cream cheese, orange juice and much more. A nice indoor pool. The manager was extremely helpful and friendly. Great place very well maintained!"
