I had a wonderful time hosting my daughter's special day at this hotel. The room was adorned with lush greens and large arched windows, providing plenty of space for guests to mingle and enjoy the mimosa bar buffet and brunch buffet. The rooms were spacious, clean, and bright, offering a great view of Main Street. Although everything was amazing, the hotel could benefit from some renovations in the future to maintain its best appearance.
