"Very clean & Comfortable bed. Bed comforter was thick and had to peel it off. Nice hot shower. Called 3 hours before our arrival to let them know we would be in late and was not told we had to submit a breakfast order that evening. On arrival Staff was courteous. Parking in the back was a little tight."
