Thank you JoAnn. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.

5 out of 5
The property was nice, up to date decor, my room was great. Staff were polite and friendly. The lady working the breakfast area did an amazing job Multi tasking and ensuring that she kept the food area clean and stocked. She was friendly and pleasant. Great customer service on her part as she worked the busy area alone. I appreciated the hot breakfast and it was delicious. Located in a nice downtown area close to restaurants and there is a local park across the street with a basketball court, tennis court, and a play ground.
