Room was very clean and spacious. Big, very fluffy towels. Online check in was convenient. Hotel looks to be partially renovated. My room was very nice and clean. Looked like it had recently been redone. Could tell that some parts of the hotel hadn't been updated yet and were not in use. Grass needed cutting, but the area was safe, lots of restaurants around. Beautiful area. I would definitely go there again.

Its rare that you find a hotel with amazing services, great food, and comfortable. All the staff memebers were friendly and showed great customer service. The hotel was amazing and comfortable. It was beautiful and quiet. The newly remodled rooms made you not want to leave. The town it was located in was cozy with great food. When I return I would definitely choose this hotel again. I think the staff and the comfort of the rooms made it top notch!
