    My mother in law was in a hospital nearby. My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 9 nights so we can visit my mother in law while she was in the hospital. The hotel is centrally located to many restaurants and stores. All of the hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is very clean. We enjoyed their free breakfast daily as well. Our stay was wonderful!

    We had a great experience here! We were stuck for two nights because of a blizzard and the workers were so kind. They let me (along with my two littles and mother) check in early. The breakfast was nice, coffee good, and the location very convenient. I hope we can come back sometime and explore the area!
