The property is clean, staff was polite, the rooms are spacious and clean. I would recommend having pillows that are different styles of firmness. The pillows are great but very soft and I am more of a firmer pillow lover. The breakfast was a great spread. I give this property a 10/10. Definitely recommend and will book again during my travels.

The girls at the front desk were wonderful! Very accommodating to any issues. The breakfast was fantastic, and the staff made sure nothing ever ran out. We will definitely be back again. The only issue we had was our card did not work one night to get in the side door So we had to go around the building to the front. We went to the desk and had them fix the cards, but when we get up to the third floor of the cards, didn’t work to get into a room and had to go back down again. But the staff member was very nice and came upstairs and made sure we got into our room. All in all great place to stay, wonderful staff fantastic breakfast,
