Checking out took forever because multiple staff members were doing other things, but couldn’t seem to figure out who was running the desk. Other then that it was great!

The hotel itself was clean staff was friendly. The problem We had was when I called the day before for confirmation We had asked if we arrived early would we be able to check in early because we drove 15hrs they said that would be ok. When we arrived they said no one should have told me that and unfortunately they didn't let us check in till 3 if they would have said that on the phone we never would have left early

We loved the "luggage bench" in our room. Just perfect for opening up your bags, grabbing whatever you needed without too much disruption to the other items and then an easy zip and out the door. Perfect for an overnight stay. Also, the beds were extremely comfortable. The breakfast was very satisfying with a large selection. Damian was very accommodating, replenishing breakfast items immediately when out. The front desk staff was courteous. We would stay there again, if needed. It was a most enjoyable experience.
