The staff was great and our room was spotless! We haven't stayed in a room as clean as long as I can remember and we were extremely happy with the breakfast the next morning. There were so many options to choose from and we were grateful that it started early at 6:30 since we had driven up for a Dr. appointment scheduled for 7:00 a.m. We definitely will stay here again if needed!
