In general, this hotel had a very friendly atmosphere. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were kept very clean, and the front desk staff was wonderful and welcoming. They opened the restaurant after renovations the day before we arrived, so we got to enjoy it on day 2. The staff was organized, friendly, helpful, and the breakfast was delicious! They had a good knowledge of what was gluten free, and had gluten free toast available for me each day that we were there. Tom, the restaurant coordinator, was especially friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!
