Excellent hotel along with a very good value.
Pros:

Property was very clean, rooms spacious, comfortable. Excellent storage and places to put your things, even for a short overnighter. The bathroom had a large walk in shower, multiple hooks for towels, and shelves for toiletries. Room was quiet and temperature comfortable. Included breakfast was very good with many offerings and such a pleasant host who never rushed anyone.

Cons:

My only complaint was the pillows were very soft and lumpy. Couldn't get enough support and kept jostling it around all night.

A quick overnight stay before early morning arrival at hospital for I r surgery. Thought might get a discount, told 3rd party bookings didn't allow for that.
