My family often stays at this hotel when we are visiting family in town. My sister and mom actually have a great relationship with the management and staff in this facility and that was evident to me during this visit. Everyone was friendly. The breakfast was excellent. The facility was spotless and this is my second or third visit and that has been consistent across all of the visits highly recommend this location if you need a place to stay.
