We really loved our stay at the hotel! The staff was super friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The room was very clean and quiet . The parking that is available as an additional option was very convenient and close to the hotel. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast and it was a nice touch to make the liberty bell waffles. We will be definitely coming back again.
