The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. The staff was extremely welcoming and kind. It was also nice that they had a shuttle and offered free transportation to our site seeing destinations such as Sculpture Park!

Great place to stay!

Very clean, welcoming, and comfortable…except the shower was barely luke warm and would not get warmer. Breakfast was great! There was an area to park larger vehicles or vehicles towing a trailer, which was great.
