We absolutely loved our stay here. Very quiet, great customer service, very clean and updated. Bar downstairs was great and loved using the credit they provided for happy hour. Our only complaint was very busy for a tournament (couldnt use the pool) but no fault of the hotel. Still very quiet, room darkening curtains, great water pressure and incredible location!

Nice place, very friendly staff. Parking was a challenge (when we arrived, there wasn't anywhere to even pull in) and too expensive. Also, our Waze map didn't bring us to the front entrance, so arriving in general was stressful. Once there, it was a nice stay.
