"Andrew was amazing at the front desk. He was so friendly and helpful! Such a professional young man but yet you felt like you were talking to a family member. Breakfast was ok. Not the best. But the employees working were kind and efficient. They worked hard to keep things restocked. Homewood Suites does a better breakfast. Hotel has plenty of parking also. We loved our room. It had a little kitchen and was well stocked. The beds were so comfy. Nice set up with plenty of USB plug ins. Overall enjoyable!"
