"We have stayed here a few times and enjoy it each time! This time our room only had one towel in it so we did have to ask for extra. Also the drain in the sink in the bathroom was a bit slow, but we didn’t bring that to anyone’s attention since we were only there for one night. The room was very clean and the staff was super friendly!"
