Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Grateful the staff allowed me to check-in a little early- I asked ahead of my arrival- as someone with disabilities. Appreciated their accommodation. Room was very clean, bed comfy, area quiet. Easy check-in, ample parking Breakfast nice, many options. Second stay here and will stay again! Concerns: Entrance needs better lighting/ visible marking-esp at night- very hard to see/ easy to drive past. Had an issue w/ overhead light blinking off and on- shared w/ staff. Bathroom light w/ fan (one switch) very loud- just tried to be considerate of neighbors. I really enjoyed my last two stays and look forward to visiting again. Thank you!
