Check in was great. Plenty of parking. Room was good size and clean. Breakfast was great. We had different selections on the three different days we were there. The ladies were so wonderful at keeping everything stocked. I highly recommend it if you have children. We had four and we didn't feel like we had two tiptoe around. Great place for kids if you want some peace and quiet this is not the place for you but families very welcomed.
