Clean room, staff was ok, breakfast was great, kitchen was good. The only think was check in and out. Took awhile , nobody was at the desk. Especially when leaving. Had a long line of people waiting not knowing where anyone was at to check out. My husband was waiting outside in the car , we had loaded up our car with our baggage and still could check out because no one was the front desk.

Really enjoyed our stay. We had tickets for a concert that night and only had to walk across the parking lot to get to it. Great breakfast. Everyone was very hospitable and helpful. Will stay again when we attend another concert.
