Convenient location in Townsend with good restaurants around. Staff was very nice and accommodating when we knew we would be leaving earlier on days that breakfast hours didn’t start, they gave us a coffee maker, coffee & tea for our room. Appreciated the Christian touches. If I had to give one suggestion it would be to start the continental breakfast hours at 7am"
