Beautiful location with clean rooms and nice decor. There was just too much noise and had to have window blinds closed to have privacy. Also the body wash was almost empty and not enough for two people to shower. Otherwise, nice place, close to aminoties.

Nice area. Walking distant to main street and restaurants. Clean and comfortable. The one thing negative was they were under construction so there was noise during the day time. I wished they would it let us know before booking.

Laurie is the front desk girl and she was so great at suggesting places for us to go for dinner. She also was just the best personality to talk to at night time while we picked up our daily cookie at night. Had a great time would come back.
