The address on goggle has the wrong street entrance, it’s confusing for people coming in out of town The staff was very nice and welcoming The lady that worked the kitchen on the morning of Tuesday the 31 of March was extremely pleasant and made breakfast a pleasure to eat, more hotels need a server like her who appears to love her job and the people she serves. Great customer service
