Honest review: Older property but clean. Front desk staff were very friendly. Breakfast was the usual. Floor in the bathroom gets wet every time you take a shower because of the way the curtain rod was installed. Quiet. Would stay again.

Linda at the front desk was very kind and helpful. She even called my room after I checked in to see if everything was good. The breakfast was fresh and hot. The room was carpeted which is nice for my dog as she doesn't like to walk on slippery floors. I would stay there again.
