7.8/10 Good! (904 reviews)
Clean, pleasant atmosphere. Homey and tastefully decorated. Free airport shuttle greatly appreciated. Grocery store and shops less than a mile away. No elevator so request first floor if you have much luggage, they don't have anyone to help. Rooms fully equipped with extras--frig, iron, microwave. Breakfast delicious--make your own waffles, eggs, gravy and biscuits!
