Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Couples said this was a great place for a weekend getaway. They noted that the rates were lower since the business clients stayed at home. Many liked the quiet location and pleasant walks close to the property. Other plus factors were the flat-screen televisions, the large fitness center and a crew of employees eager to help and assist.
