Grace is the best CS rep. we've ever met at the front desk. Didn't get his name but the breakfast cook is exceptional. His scrambled eggs were incredible and we have never had eggs this light, airy, and tasty, ever, in a breakfast buffet.

Stayed here many times. Always clean and comfortable, good little fitness center. Decent breakfast, nothing fancy. I like the handy indoor pool and jacuzzi, but I wish it closed at 10 instead of 9. Easy walking distance to everything in old Hannibal
