Been here a bunch in the past few years and this time the place looked run down and like it is falling apart. Must be under new management.

My stay was not only comfortable and immaculate, but every single one of the staff was friendly, helpful, and on point. From the Bell Hops Kip and Dan, the wonderful staff of the Sunshine Cafe, who delivered the best breakfast buffet I've had at a hotel in years, to the clerks who checked me in and the bartender of the American Grill. All of you deserve a raise! The room was also wonderful, with a great view, very clean and well stocked, it was the best stay I've had in years. I will certainly return the next time I am in the area!
