Wonderful area with plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Also, one of the better breakfast spreads I’ve had in awhile. Staff was very friendly all the way from check-in to check-out.

Racist
I didn’t feel welcomed. When I checked in all I was asked was for a deposit then handed my room key whereas the couple who checked in after me received a map along with recs and itinerary. Second I didn’t receive housekeeping during my stay. Although I booked for 2 days I still should have received housekeeping. And lastly the person who was on duty for breakfast for 7/4 followed my daughter and I around the kitchen the entire time we made our plates making us both feel so uncomfortable. Yes I am a woman of color as well as my daughter and to say the least we felt discriminated against. Will not be booking here ever again

Always a good place to stay for us when visiting family. Close to groceries, restaurants, and of course, family. Layout makes check-in easy, and the staff have always been courteous. The rooms are all well equipped.
