Every employee that we encountered was friendly, professional, and helpful. Our room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The Christmas tree in the lobby was beautiful and created a magical, holiday vibe. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and plentiful. We loved every minute of our stay.

The gentleman at the desk when we arrived late was so sweet and made us feel very welcomed. He had our keys ready and asked if we needed anything since it was late, offered us a late check out to allow us to sleep in. Beautiful room and the bed was so comfortable. Highly recommend.
