We'll be back!!
This was a phenomenal establishment!! The staff treated us like family!! Danny checked us in and he was wonderful!! Let's talk about Amenities galore!! Adispenser with a delicious variety of FREE hot beverages available 24 hours, a gym with an impressive variety of equipment, a spacious business station that has 4 computers, ample free parking, a heated pool and hot tub that were open later than most places. Then there's the restaurant in the same parking lot.... guests get 20% discount when you present your room key. They had live music every night we were there. It was awesome!!! Beds were super comfy. We worried about the train tracks outside our balcony but they must be out of service. We stayed 4 days and 3 nights and never heard a train.
