"Had an amazing stay. The room was clean, quiet, and comfy. The exercise room was new with everything you could possibly need.... minus water. Bring your own if you decide to workout. Breakfast had a little bit of everything to meet all diet needs. Im gluten free. I would definitely stay here again."
