The Antlers, a Wyndham Hotel
There was a brief problem with my reservation, but the staff quickly resolved the matter with an upgraded room and parking. This was truly appreciated, as I had just driven 16 hours to deliver a truck to my son who is serving in the Army. Our stay was perfect, thanks to the staff.
