10.0 Wonderful
Pros:You park your car, and then you don't have to drive anywhere for your entire stay - everything you could want is right near the hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful - every single one of them greeted us, wished us a good morning, a fun day, a good evening... whatever. Really felt like our being there was actually appreciated instead of us being something to take care of. Really a great staycation!!
