Located next to Wild Blueberry Bakery & Cafe (Outstanding!). Well maintained older facilty with good amenities (big bathroom, Keurig coffeemaker, microwave and real fridge with usable freezer). Bed was comfortable. Best part was the HVAC unit - the quietest we have ever had in 40 years of travel and very efficient. Will definitely stay here again.
