Staff was very nice. room was a good size beds were comfortable, great location about a 15 minute walk into town all on sidewalks. the only slight critique is that the shower has an oval shower rod so the shower curtain doesn't lay flush against the tub so water got on the floor, but no biggie. would absolutely stay again!"
