“EXCELLENT STAFF at the front desk (Janet) / Top Notch Hotel”
Janet, the lady we met at the check-in desk, was very helpful and welcoming. She had an excellent personality. No faults; I will definitely recommend this hotel and revisit. The room was pleasant, the food was great, and the hotel itself was very clean.

Well it ain't like that anymore. The bar and dining room have gone minimalist wi… more
