Good value and location, better than average restaurant on premises. Unfortunately, our check-in on Friday coincided with 2 wedding receptions and peak restaurant activity turning the parking lot into a free for all. Plus, there are only 2 handicapped parking spaces available for guests...

Megan at the front desk was the best staff person ever!
Helpful, friendly, understanding, assisted with all my questions and concern.
Housekeeping was good and so was the staff in Ruddy's and at the bar.
My husband and I spent 12 days there and other than then the lack of Handicap Parking and the slow, small elevators, it was a great place to stay

Excellent stay, and we really appreciated the personal touch and engagement from the owner.
We also appreciated your staff, especially since they were working over the Labor Day weekend.
I was impressed with your water bottle filler and helpful, free items. If possible, please continue to find vendors and products that don't package using single use plastic. Perhaps there are even more places you could substitute paper cups for plastic cups, for example. Thank you again.
