The property was extremely nice and well kept. The room was spotless and very much up to date. Great layout of the room and had nice space with the Jr. Suite. Very impressed by the accommodations and I will definitely be back.

We had a really nice stay at this hotel. We did have to dry some clothes in the laundry room they have available for guest on site. Unfortunately, the dryer burnt some of our items that we needed dried and I didn’t even have the dryer set at the highest heat level.
