"The property was kept clean the entire weekend. The lobby is clean, attractive with bar/grill and coffee shop. For the many events taking place in ballrooms and Towne Center that weekend overall with valet and parking it wasn't congested and plenty security. The room was a King, nothing stood out particularly. I would have given 5🌟 if there were digital pay options, and even though I don't use microwaves, there was none in my room - I had to go to the gift shop in the lobby to use it. For location it's perfect with lots of restaurants, convenience stores, wine shops and right off the highwsy. The staff were all friendly and accommodating🌟"
