"Very nice hotel and our first visit there. The staff was very professional and friendly. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was excellent - wish we had more time to try dinner there. We were checking in at dinnertime and there was a line to get in. The outside grounds were so nice and there was a HUGE pumpkin to welcome us at the door. We will definitely go back again."
