Not only was our stay great, after a very long day, but when we checked out, Sara was more than helpful in talking to us about the area, as we’re looking to move to Kent. We more than appreciated her kindness, hospitality and knowledge. Also, great coffee (care of Sara, as she told us about the vendor)! Many thanks, especially to Sara.
