FANTASTIC Stay!

The staff were very friendly and helpful!!! I found the location great. It made getting around SO easy. Parking was included, a big plus. I also enjoyed the tasty food available. It was great quality.
The room seemed a bit dated, and the floors squeaked a lot. It was pretty annoying, I must say.
