The property great and staff were lovely. I am very dissapointed with the hotels.com reservation as I picked the 124 rate including service and taxes. When I looked at my reservation confirmation they had charged 165 ! Not happy with that. Be aware. I recommend the property.

When we arrived, the receptionist was quite rude and did not make us feel welcome which started our stay with a sour taste. Thankfully, everyone else we met at the hotel including the receptionist in the morning was kind and polite which improved our views on the hotel. That being said, the location of the hotel is ideal, the room was nice and the complimentary breakfast is a good addition.
