Wonderful and welcoming!
Pros:

We had a late check in (around 1am), the receptionist was friendly, helpful and welcoming. She was incredibly in making us feel at ease considering our long drive. Breakfast was delicious and the staff member who maintained the breakfast was very personable and very interactive with the guests. So friendly! Check out was easy and again the receptionist was friendly and treated us like family. The rooms very big, clean and well kept. Overall is was a great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. I highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

I do not have any complaints.
