Staff was extremely friendly. They went above and beyond. One of the staff cleaned all of the snow off of the dozens of cars in the parking lot after an overnight heavy snow fall. This property was extremely clean and the remodel was beautifully done. I highly recommend and will stay again.

I did not expect much when I booked this place. I was pleasantly surprised to note that the place was quiet [, maybe it was the winter season] and the room was very clean. The staff was very friendly. Enjoyed the weekend stay.
