    Food was amazing... Location was close enough to Carver Arena that we could walk there! Nothing but love and respect from everyone on staff, including the nighttime care-taker/receptionist. Will not think twice about booking there again...

    Complimentary Breakfast was much better than expected. It beat the usual industry standard by a long shot! The Bistro breakfast sandwiches were healthy and delicious. Other meals were also gourmet quality.
