Excellent hotel for the best price in the area! This is my 2nd time staying here and I will be going back here next time. The hotel was clean and well kept. All of the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was Good with plenty of options. I had a suite with two queen beds and not one complaint! The pool area with the hot tub is nice. Great hotel that is perfect for the business traveler or your family.
