The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The location was convenient and close to downtown within a short drive. There were dining options and Starbucks across the street and right next to the hotel.

The staff was great! Our dog loved the park next door. The firepits outside the swimming pool were great to sit around and enjoy the evening. Food next door at the Farmhouse Kitchen was so easy and convenient!
