The property was surprisingly high quality; and the staff was above-and-beyond pleasant, kind and helpful. It was a full night, and parking was a tad tricky but in the end not that bad. Really it's the staff that will have me coming back to this location!

Staff was nice, the room was fine but the towels are terrible. One “bath” towel and everything else was small. They did have a room for my son and his dog which was great.
