Don’t hesitate. Great location, wonderful staff, breakfast was fabulous. Only minor issue was we were unexpectedly given a handicapped accessible room, and the sink was at our knees. Next time we would ensure that we have the amenities that we expected for comfortable use of the bathroom. Highly recommend this property!
