Everything was very nice, clean and accommodating. Excellent staff! Enjoy the outside sitting areas. The kitchenette in the room was very helpful as well. We were there for two nights. We did feel that the fee for this the room was a little pricey. Would definitely stay again, if considered a lower rate. Thank you very much. It was a great stay!!!

We enjoy these “simple” properties where you can park by your door (easy luggage unload/load), super clean room, comfortable bed and actual friendly service. This place is just right.
