"This was our second visit to this hotel. We really love the location, the breakfast buffet, and the friendly and helpful staff. Parking is a challenge, we were out all day everyday and when we returned the hotel parking lot was usually completely full. We were only able to park onsite 3 out 7 nights. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the staff were top notch. Everyone but one lady was very kind and welcoming."
