My husband and I came to celebrate our birthdays and booked this hotel because it was so close to the main street. I love this hotel so much! They have a wine and cheese hour at night, which was very nice! The breakfast is good, and the staff were very accommodating. All the guys at the front desk were very nice. This is our new favorite hotel and we will be back.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated all of their support during our stay. Rooms were a little bit older than expected. They smelled a little stuffy and surrounding areas were noisy at night. Was expecting more. Staff and the breakfast definitely made up for it. We also really enjoyed the free bike rental.
