wow that is a really nice hotel.
I've been to another hotel, had to wake up in the middle of the night and move the entire family out of the room!!! Electrical wiring were burning!!! As you can imagine. I will keep this hotel in mind, thanks for the review!! Love the place.

We like the breakfast too. Nothing fancy and not exactly top line, but the food they served, tasted much better than plenty of buffet breakfasts that I have been to in many hotels.
