Overall Score4.0/ 5
After driving for 11 hours, it was awesome to walk in and be welcomed by the super friendly staff. It was 10pm and the lobby was buzzing with activity. I asked for a room at the end of the hallway since I am a light sleeper and the check in staff person was happy to accommodate. The room was clean, spacious and beautiful. We had a great night's sleep and will certainly return when we go on our family trip next year. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others : ).
