Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was no elevator and with luggage it made it difficult. The parking was so narrow, I was worried that either my car would be hit or someone else would hit mine. The people were very friendly and breakfast/room was cozy and homelike.
