Blew our minds
"I booked this hotel for my lady and I and let me tell you it blew our minds. The room we had was very clean. It smelt clean. The pillows were clean and the sheets had no stains. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was top tier (this is a big thing for me). They use real eggs and sausage unlike some places we've stayed at. We recieved a parking pass to park in the parking garage next door which I was happy with. The ceiling fan was quite nosiy (not that big of a deal to us but to some it could bother others that stay here) and I feel the mattress could need an upgrade( although comfortable it was blouncy and lumpy). Overall we really enjoyed our stay and definitely would recommend and stay here again."
