The scenery was nice. I liked the view from my hotel window. Very comfortable pillows!

Pros: Breakfast was good. The sausage was my favorite and the waffle machine is always a hit! The mini muffins were a nice treat too. If I didn’t get full, I would’ve grabbed a yogurt too. Cons: The parking situation. Getting here there was plenty of parking but when it was nighttime and we were returning from an event, there were no spots! Glad I got there at the same time as an employee, since he ended up moving his car for us to take his spot. There should be plenty of parking for the people staying and the employees. I wasn’t sure of the availability of street parking, I was also in a city
