10/10 Excellent
"We decided to make a trip on a whim and thankfully we were able to get a room here. We have stayed here three times and are always satisfied. We especially enjoy the breakfast area—very spacious and well maintained. Nice variety of breakfast items. (Only request we have is that oatmeal is regularly offered in some fashion.) We were unexpectedly given a free room upgrade, which was very nice. Bed comfortable. Every staff member is friendly and knowledgeable. We will keep coming back!"
