This hotel is exceptionally clean, well kept up and has everything you would need. Our room was spotless, we had an extra blanket in the closet if we needed it, plenty of towels, plenty of pillows, and did I mention how clean it was? Water pressure in the shower was good, bathroom was spotless and the provided toiletries were high quality. Front desk staff was welcoming and very quick to get us checked in/out. Literally the only complaint I have is the parking situation. If you get there...

for families this was awesome. there was a bathroom for each of the bedrooms in the suite so that worked out very nicely especially when traveling as a group of seven. there was one thing that stood out above all else though.. the food. during our road trip we stayed at numerous places like this where they have free breakfast. some were worse than others, but for the most part it was a free breakfast so wasn't expecting much. the breakfast here was far and above better than anywhere else when it...
