I appreciated the convenient off-road parking available. The dinner and breakfast were good. I found a warm welcome upon arrival. The free WiFi access was quite useful .
The outside of the hotel did look a little shabby. The lawn looked a little overgrown and could benefit from some TLC. The hanging baskets perhaps had experienced better days. But inside everything was super clean
