I gave this property 4 stars. It would have been 5 except for the fact that my room wasn't ready at the time check-in, 3 pm. I had to wait an 1 1/2 hours for someone to "inspect the room".

All Around Great Experience

Hotel was VERY clean, in an excellent location and staff were exceptionally friendly both when we checked in and out. Location was quiet, offered easy access to town/sites and afforded ample parking 24/7. Above all, beds were so, so comfortable with plenty of pillows. There was an in-room fridge we really appreciated. And the bathroom was clean and well-stocked with delicious-smelling products. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for future visitors!
