Adequate Stay
comfortable bedgenerous basketdifficult parkingnoisy room
The staff was consistently friendly. They accommodated all requests we had. The room size was good and the bed was very comfortable. We also appreciated the basket of goodies in our room.
Parking proved difficult to find. When I inquired at check in , I was directed to use google. I did not find that helpful. Our room was near the main door, noisy when people entered or exited.
