Fantastic place to stay! This was my second time to stay there and I’ll be back. The only suggestion is that breakfast this visit was not as good as my previous stay. Other than that, love staying here!

Room showed some wear and tear. Shower got a little slippery with the soft water. Breakfast food was okay but not much variety. Went for the Mustang car show, cleaned my car and parked next to other mustangs, in the morning went to take the car to the show and sprinklers had ran onto the car, dried and left water spots requiring special cleaning to remove.

Staff were amazing. When I booked with Expedia the room said it had a balcony which was why I chose that room. When we were given room it did not have one. I spoke with ladies at desk and they said that was Expedia error but they worked their magic and moved us to a balcony room. So kind and accommodating. Excellent service by them and all staff. Breakfast was great as well.
