"It was a wonderful stay. The hotel was busy... I mean that really busy, but the staff did not stop. I witnessed all the staff working the front counter and cleaning tables in the food area at the same time. It was a lesson in hard work. The hotel was clean and even though it was busy, I never heard anything from outside the room. I had coffee anytime I wanted (a minimal goal of mine), and the food at snack time was good. My one complaint was the breakfast of which is just that the biscuits that day were a bit hard. But everything else was good. It's my new stopping point in this region of the state. Thank you to the staff and management, keep up the hard work."
