Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean room, very friendly staff. The beds and pillows were overly firm and the bed sheets undersized so they pulled up constantly. The hideaway bed was the old style couch with the big bar in the middle also making it uncomfortable. No freezer in the fridge or coffee maker in the room. It was off season and quiet. We would stay here again and would be curious to see what the area would be like in the summer.
