Staff saves the night!
We accidentally spilled a cup of hot chocolate on a bed and room service was there in less than 5 minutes to save the day with all new bedding!
Clean, friendly staff, and quiet.

Nice place
Our stay was quick. The shuttle was very reliable and efficient. The pool wasn’t available which was disheartening for our son and the family/friends that came with us. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time as we planned for a hotel with a pool.

Great hotel and staff
The front desk staff was very friendly and flexible. We requested a late checkout and they allowed us to check out an hour late. They brought sheets to us promptly upon request for the sofa bed.
