Lovely front desk attendant in the evenings. Love that they provide complimentary coffee and treats thru out the day. Can't beat a free breakfast and clean comfortable bed! Sauna and hot tub is always a bonus when we stay here.

The hotel staff are attentive, the room is well kept and clean, and the continental breakfast is excellent. I very much enjoyed my stay. I recommend one small change to the bathroom (and this is an observation that I have about almost every hotel these days), please add more hooks and towel bars.

Room was clean, breakfast was average. Thought based on photos and description that it would be quieter but it is right on the highway.
