The hotel is well off the highway minimizing road noise. My rooms was quiet, comfortable and tried to give off a colonial feeling. My bathroom was also modernized. If i had one criticism, it would be the free breakfast. Nothing but packaged rolls and cereal. The fruit bowl looked like it was the same fruit for the past month. The caps on the juice and milk containers were very dirty and milk tasted sour. Dont be tempted to staynthere for the free breakfast

Great stay!

This hotel was a very pleasant place to stay. The staff were wonderful, the room was clean and very well appointed, the bed was comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure. It was also very quiet at night and is in a very good area. There was plenty of free parking, a good sized elevator, and brochures of attractions in the area. There is a large room for breakfast and also a cafe next door. I highly recommend it!
