EDI had everything we wanted and needed for a most comfortable and pleasant stay. The place was clean and convenient. The staff was helpful. We liked being able to park in front of our room and carry luggage right in. There was a game room and we played mini golf! Only complaint was the extra charge to play mini golf because I reserved through YOU!
