The property and staff were excellent. Only reason that I did not give 5 stars is because the breakfast is really lacking. The hotel was undergoing a remodel during our visit, but the construction noise was done by late afternoon.

This was the perfect place for me and my husband to take a quick getaway. Check out was easy and online, staff was very nice, and the room was very clean and nice. The walls are a bit thin so you could hear…noises at times, haha. But we very much enjoyed our stay. Definitely coming back!
