Excellent staff

This hotel exceeded my expectations, we were tired from a long drive in and booked this hotel for the night. We arrived a few hours prior to check in time and the gentleman at the front desk was kind enough to allow us to check in early. Overall the staff and room were to my liking, the area appeared questionable however, we had no problems at all. It was quiet and everyone was friendly.
