The stay was fine. But, the service was excellent - we noticed my granddaughter had left her wallet in a nightstand after we were about 3 hours away. They put it away and we came back the next week. All her money was still intact. Integrity and honesty at its finest.

This property looks to have been renovated recently. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean and everything looked new. The shower needs a shelf or somewhere to put your shampoo, soap... The walls were a bit thin, but not terrible. Just a heads up that they do not have blow dryers in the rooms or available to borrow from the desk. Otherwise, this was a great room for the price.
