I had a really good stay. I met Larry. He was a diehard chief fan. He was a great person very nice. Iwas very helpful. Elfrida in the breakfast was great, and then I met Mr. Stanley, which I was so glad I did. He was such a sweet man his wife’s lucky to have him very friendly and it was meant for us to meet so the hospitality from them was great. We will be returning it if we’re in the area
