Overall a good place; room size, bed and amenities were nice and everything was very clean but bathroom fixtures were old and in need of replacing and the noise from adjoining rooms was noticeable. The grounds were very nice with plenty of walking and bike paths.

I was not at all happy with the young man at the front desk. He was arrogant when he told me I should be wary of using Expedia. I don’t think that was appropriate for him to decide for me.
