Many reviews talked about the concierge Jennifer and now we know why. She is , personable and helpful. This hotel is tucked away in a wooded area away from the business of the town but close enough to drive a short distance to get the things you need.

Room was spacious and updated. Breakfast was solid buffet, slightly above the average 3 star chain hotel breakfast. Basketball court and squash court available for free use with rentals included which was a big plus. Room service offered for breakfast and dinner but menu is fairly limited. Staff was very friendly. Pool looked nice but no AC so it was unusable which I read in other reviews so may not be fixed for future stays. Grounds were nice with a nice walking trail, volleyball net and plenty of green space. Great value for price.
