    It was clean and comfortable . The staff were wonderfully helpful and delightful . The food in the dining room was excellent especially with a 10% discount.
  • Casey

    I thought my stay would be loud as the hotel is close to a main road. This was not the case and I slept very well in the comfortable room I had. Nor did I hear any noise from the hotel downstairs itself. Parking was great and the hotel is close...
