"The place was very clean and spacious. It is decorated Mid Century Modern. 2nd floor is the main floor.We loved the 3rd floor media room where many channels were available to watch/stream. Paddington Bear was watching atop his suit case. There is a half bath on 3rd floor if the need arises while watching shows.The bathrooms were cute. I meant to take pictures. The master bedrooms bathroom had a blue tub and cute pattern wall paper.We slept well.We were in town for our grandson's soccer tournament so we only stayed 1 night. We were close to the Route 66 museum that just opened and popped in there for some gifts. We will visit there another time. We enjoyed Guzzardos for dinner.
