The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Thanks Ms. D! Even though there was roadwork being done throughout the night, we always enjoy our stay here. The rooms are spacious, clean, and cool, and they have the best ‘continental’ breakfast we have experienced. The private parking lot was blocked off due to construction, but they provided close, easy parking in a public lot for the same fee.
