Perfectly located nicely decorated very comfortable beds and rooms nice staff, except for the breakfast server who had to be asked for everything from a glass of water to silverware to butter for toast. Otherwise, everything was excellent.
We had 2 couples at this hotel for an overnight stay. We found the hotel to be in an ideal location, easily accessible
with plenty parking.. Hotel desk staff helpful, friendly, and very nice. Same with all the bar/restaurant staff. Rooms very clean, all needed personal items available. We are now planning our next trip for August to celebrate an 80th birthday!!
We absolutely loved this hotel. Our rooms were decorated perfectly for the area. We enjoyed a drink on the bar patio and listened to live music. It was great to have a table with a fire pit. We ate breakfast at the hotel and the pancakes were very small for the price. We highly recommend this hotel.
