I had intended on staying at the hotel down the block. But when it turned up that there were no more rooms for my dates, I picked this hotel very last minute and hoped for the best. I walked in and loved the decor and atmosphere. I learned that this hotel was recently renovated. The room was clean and staff was friendly.

This is place is pretty new. The rooms are beautiful. The staff was very helpful and the wifi internet worked well. They include breakfast in the morning and it's a very nice meal. A lot of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, fresh cheese omlets and even a waffle maker. For the price it can't be beat and compares well with many more expensive. There is a Texas Roadhouse restaurant right next door!
