The rooms where spotless. The entire staff from the Front desk, shuttle driver, and housekeeping where so helpful and kind. I felt like I was staying with family. It helped that the hotel has a covered garage and parking was only $20. The recomendations for local and walkable restaurants were perfect. I will be back.
