Safe, Quiet and Reliable

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I had a clogged toilet, and by the time I returned to my room after having breakfast, it was fixed. The hotel was very crowded because of the National Senior Games being held here, but the staff kept the breakfast items well supplied. Location was good as well with several eating areas within walking distance.
