"Great Rooms & Great Free Breakfast!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
The staff was wonderful and very courteous. Enjoyed Steve's smile and great breakfast in the morning: waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, yogurt, variety of toasts, cereals and carafe coffee! Definitely a $20 + dollar breakfast for free. The shower was great with a nice shower head and water pressure and everything was clean. My suite had a coffee maker, microwave and small refrigerator with sink. I was able to park for free outside my room which was very convenient. Would come back again! Thank you everyone for a blessed stay ❤️.
