10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was nice and very clean. All staff and workers so friendly. Bed was very comfy and room was spacious, even tho we didn't have a suite. As both of us are gluten sensitive, it was nice to see scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast.....also yogurt. They had Seattle's Best coffee. The decaf I poured for breakfast tasted like it had been there since yesterday, but they had coffee packets and brewer in the room to brew fresh. We didn't use the pool or any other amenities. Would definitely stay here again!!!"
