Fantastic Stay!

convenient locationfriendly stafflimited space

I appreciated the convenient location near local attractions. Breakfast was plentiful, with a nice variety of options to start the day. Onsite parking MADE it easy to come and go as I pleased. The staff's FRIENDLY demeanor created a cute atmosphere.

The standard room felt somewhat small. Limited space for luggage storage became a slight inconvenience. I found myself wishing for a larger area to keep my belongings organized .

The breakfast had waffles that were delicious. The hotel theme incorporated a Viking song sung live at the table. I enjoyed it very much.

The room was quite loud and I could hear everything from other people and traffic.
