First, I keep coming back here when I travel to see my parents. Value is outstanding! Big rooms that are a bit outdated, but the bed and pillows are super comfortable. Coffee is outstanding. But the highlight of the trip is the warm welcome from the lady at the front desk! It feels like coming home!
