What a great place to stay when away from home! The hotel is located in a quiet location, but very close to shopping, dinning, and other services. I walked across a side street and found several good restaurants. The lobby and dinning area inside are spacious and very comfortable. This is a newer property and the rooms are very nicely appointed, the bathroom is comfortably large with a walk-in shower. I used the pool while I was there. It was warm enough and large enough to swim in. There was also a very nice fitness center that I looked at but didn't have time to use. Breakfast is about typical for similar hotels, but I have to say there was a bit more of a variety at this hotel. This is really a great spot to stay whether you're traveling alone on business, or with family on a vacation or outing in the area. Of all of the things that set one hotel apart from another, in my opinion, I will say that the people at this particular hotel are especially nice. I initially spoke with Sie (pronounced like 'Say'), and was impressed by her cordial customer service manner. After I was checked in, Sie called the room a little while later to ask how everything was, and if there was anything that I needed but perhaps had forgotten to bring. This seems to be the standard here, but it was different from what I've experienced in other hotels. I met several others of the staff, including Montana, Kat, and the manager, Erica. Everyone was very nice, not stuffy or stiff in their interactions. They all made me feel very welcome and appreciated, and I enjoyed my interactions with each of them. I like the hotel so much that I've decided to make it my regular hotel when I travel to the area to visit my family, as I often do. Tracy Newton is the Director of Sales and she was very helpful and kind. She assisted me to ensure that I was able to benefit from all applicable discounts for which I am eligible. At one point, when returning from having visited my son in the hospital nearby, Tracy said, "welcome home". That just sums up the entire a**osphere and experience at this wonderful hotel!
