10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately the on-site hot tubs were closed for repair but staff did let us know that they could arrange for us to use amenities at a sister site within walking distance. The location alone made the hotel worth it as it was conveniently located to everything in town. Parking on-site was super easy to access and very reasonably priced.
