EXCELLENT stay!

helpful support clean rooms great location

The staff offered helpful support throughout my visit. The rooms were definitely clean, REALLY important to me. Location was also great. I didn't need to use my car.

The carpets looked old with significant stains. This detracted from an otherwise good impression.
