Everything was excellent. The grounds are spacious, and there are plenty of parking spaces. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. We arrived for a conference before the standard check-in time, and they kindly allowed us to check in early without any additional charge, which we truly appreciated. Inside, the hotel feels like a self-contained complex, with many halls and rooms throughout the property. There is also a pond with fish and a swimming pool. The pool is rather small, so we did not end up using it. Our room was large, clean, and well-appointed, with quality furnishings and an exceptionally comfortable bed. The bathroom was also very nice.

Place clean, staff was pleasant. It was everything that we expected. Just a little note staff at restaurant could be a little more courteous. We could all have bad days, the moment we walk in, they stay behind. Overall we're human. 😇
