Staff was very friendly. The rooms are spacious with lots of amenities. It is a newer building outside of the downtown area. It would be a great place to stay for a few days while visiting the area. Unfortunately, we were only there for 1 night.

Very nice, clean room. Appears to be a newer built hotel. There were not a lot of other visitors there so it was nice and quiet. Our king sized bed room had a whole small kitchen in it, with dining ware and all! (Which was great when my salad was delivered w/o a fork) I would stay again!
