The staff was very friendly, courteous, and joyful. My check in was great as was check out. The room was very clean and nicely maintained, although the sink handle was a little loose. Breakfast was very good. I love that they had small pitchers of sugar-free syrup for the waffles. I would definitely stay here again.
