Our experience was wonderful. We met Brittany at the front desk and absolutely loved her hospitality, patience, and kindness. She took the time to write down all the interesting places to visit, which we truly appreciated. The information and suggestions she provided were incredibly helpful in choosing the right places to explore and enjoy our trip. The hotel is very clean and offers excellent service. We love it!

Reservation not secured.

The hotel itself was clean. Room was comfortable. TV channel list did not match channels. My beef is with Hotels.com. I went through them to make my reservation for two nights and was only secured for one. They did fine me another hotel for my second night but I should not have to receive a phone call from my hotel telling me I have to leave the hotel when I'm in the middle of my vacation. Not a good experience.
