The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was a standard hotel breakfast, but prepared very well so we were very pleased. The water pressure was the only thing lacking in both the shower and toilet.

Excellent hotel. My room had a nice bench / luggage rack which was a nice touch. Breakfast was awesome, hot cheese omelets, sausage, gravy, biscuits; chobani and oikos yogurt cups, fresh fruit, top notch baked goods… an attendant was there wiping down countertops and tables as well as refilling the buffet as needed. Honestly hotel breakfasts are a make or break deal for most of us, this one was superb. Worth it. There’s also a nice clean pool and fitness room stocked with drinking water and towels, didn’t have the time to enjoy those amenities but would if I stayed longer.
