8/10 Very good

Our stay was short but nice. My only complaint was the bed. I know everyone has different preferences as far as pillows and mattresses, so this could very well be just me, but the mattress was too firm and the pillows were too full for my neck. My husband slept well, but I didn't. Other than that, it was a nice, clean hotel. The room was lovely and very spacious and the staff at the desk were polite and helpful. Location was perfect, as we were in town for our daughter's college orientation and it was a short drive back to campus. I would definitely stay again, but I'll remember to bring my own pillow.

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk staff and our waitress at the hotel restaurant (dinner) were friendly and helpful and patiently answered any questions that we had. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only thing missing was a blanket, which we got from the front desk when we got cold during the night. I appreciated the magnified makeup mirror in the bathroom!
