This is an ideal location for getting around. Breakfast staff were great. Check in person took so long to check us in and then gave directions we couldn’t understand. Our room was the farthest away from restaurant and lobby. We stayed two nights and no room tidying the second night. Housekeeping ...

For the price and location this is a gem to me as it is close to everything I want. The single bed room is huge and has plenty of space, more than enough room for me to roll out my yoga mat and workout. Nice color schemes, comfy bed, fast hot water, and shower pressure is actually good.

It’s pretty worn out and the carpets were sticky. Also, was wakened at 6am by a loud landscaping tool droning outside. It was nice having a bunk for the kids but the rooms, in general, are ready for some maintenance and repairs
