Stayed here for my wife’s birthday and she couldn’t have been happier! Excellent staff, clean rooms, great happy hour and excellent order-ahead breakfast! We met great people at happy hour that like us, were just traveling through. They even decorated our room and left some prizes for my wife when we returned from dinner. We will be back here next year to celebrate again!
