The location was perfect. So close to I 75 North! They are pet friendly. Nice staff on our arrival. The room was comfortable. Plenty of place to park.
The breakfast was not good. Food cold, not even 1 piece of jam or jelly. The coffee wasn't good. Not smiles from the lady at the front desk when we daparted.

Very friendly and helpful staff, especially front desk person. Clean and comfortable with lots of restaurants nearby.
I think the breakfast should be included with the room. The hotel prices are not inexpensive and the breakfast is pretty much equivalent to that found in other similar hotels I've stayed in when traveling.

The location of the hotel and the convenience of restaurants that were close by. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was cozy. After a long road trip, those are important features.
I can't find anything that I didn't like about our stay, at all.

The bathroom could have been cleaner. There was hair on the side of the tub.
