    The breakfast was OUTSTANDING. Turkey sausage! Chobani yogurt! Decent bagels! The room was fine, but since it was on the ground floor, I had to keep the shades/blinds drawn. The staff was friendly and helpful.
  • Lauren

    I liked the breakfast and how it was not a super large property to navigate. It was easy to get around. It had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfy! I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
