Excellent stay! Room and bathroom were very clean. Made a request for top floor($10 extra) and adjoining room with our children. Both honored. We stayed on a Saturday night and it was thankfully extremely quiet! We also brought our dog. An extra $75 is steep but market value. Of the five hotels in this immediate area, this one has been the most pleasant. Will be my first choice next time.
