Our room is large, with a comfortable bed and couch, and is very clean and quiet. The internet and tv work well, and the refrigerator even has a small freezer space. Our only problem was that it is actually located on Business 31 and the address given on Expedia is just route 31, so we drove all the way around on 31 then back through town on Business 31 to find it.

I had looked online to see if this property was pet friendly. When we arrived they told me it was not. The staff was polite but the rooms were dated and worn. There were iron marks in the carpet. Carpet was stained and worn. We were in a suite and the fold out couch was in terrible condition. Worn on the ends and springs were poking through. Definitely needed replacing.
