This was my second stay at Genetti's Best Western after an exceptional stay last time, and they did not disappoint! Although the hotel and rooms feel a bit like an 80s time capsule, everything is well-kept, neat, and orderly. The hotel staff is impeccably friendly and accommodating, and we saw many familiar faces from our visit 3 years ago. Our dog was welcomed and greeted as another guest, and the breakfast is legit real food, not just muffins and cereal! There is a waffle-maker, which I feel is important to point out.
