"Rob at the service desk was wonderful. We needed to make a last-minute change and he was gracious and helpful and did it for us. He was very friendly. He made sure we got what we needed. The room was very nice. Parking was easy. Breakfast could’ve used some help, but it was still nice. The property was very nice. I would stay there again given the opportunity."
