"My mom, sister, and I have stayed at this hotel the last 2 times we have had our girl's day. Quick check in, friendly, close to everything. There were waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs, ham, yogurt, etc for the breakfast (and cappucino!). The pool was empty in the morning, so we were able to enjoy our relaxing morning in the hot tub together. Another great stay!"
