Verified Review, stayed from Mon Aug 03 to Tue Aug 04 2026 at a $187.78 average nightly rate.

"Happily enjoyed my two nights."

Clean, great service, wonderful breakfast. Very pleasant stay. Great breakfast and good service. On OCT 8th I checked out at noon, could not return to my house until 3:00 as to fumigation. Waited in the lovely lobby. My ride did not show up. The man behind the desk at that time was so helpful to find a ride for me. I am 91 years of age and he made me feel at ease. I am telling all about this hotel.
