I really enjoyed the room it was clean staff was friendly it was so quiet. Breakfast was good and it is easy to get where you are going and back with lots of food options and shopping around. If you are looking for a fancy place this isn’t for you. If you are looking for a comfortable fairly priced, no bugs, and helpful staff, and don’t mind a knick in the paint this is for you!
