Absolutely Wonderful Stay!
friendly staff luxurious spa ample parking
The staff displayed a friendly, helpful attitude throughout my stay, which I valued so much. I used the spa early in the morning. It felt so new and luxurious!!! Breakfast continued until 11 am, a detail that prevented me from missing it. The ample parking at the hotel made arrival and departure easy.
The room's decor seemed a bit outdated. This aspect could benefit from some modernization .
