Overall score4.0/ 5
I really enjoyed my night here. Although I didn't take the time to use the pool, it looked inviting. The property is decorated attractively throughout the common areas. Lots of attention to detail. The beds and pillows were super comfortable, great shower pressure and a satisfying breakfast. There are many restaurants nearby, no highway noises. I would come back!
