The property is well maintained and has adequate electrical outlets for recharging a variety of devices. The simple continental breakfast was perfectly adequate and the front desk assistant was great to recommend "House of Flavors" for dinner. Looks like a well-established and renown ice cream shop -- which it is -- but serves great food at reasonable prices.
