We travel to this area often and stay at a new place each time. However, we feel like we have found “the one.” Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Love the pancake machine, the cinnamon roll warmer, and other good hot foods. Great variety of foods and very well stocked. We will be back!
