"The property was very nice. Immaculately clean rooms, nice showers and comfortable beds and pillows. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was definitely a cut above the usual toast and yogurt, with made fresh waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, etc. Everything I tasted was very good. And, the warm chocolate chip cookies at 6:30 at night were a really special touch. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our road trip."
