The parking area at the front door needs a wider exit. I was stuck in my vehicle for a half hour because people checking in caused congestion. There was no way out.

One of the best stays!

Overall we really like staying at this hotel. Breakfast was good. Room is very nice. Service is good. We love all of the common areas and the location fits our needs perfectly. One area of improvement (although we don’t use it very much) is the tv channel selection - it could use some help. That’s it. Thanks for a great stay!
