"We were pleased with the room. I don’t ever sit on a hotel bedspread however I did at this hotel. The bedding looked clean and smelled laundry fresh. It was soft and comfy. Everything felt very clean. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We stayed one night. The room was small and I’m not a very organized person in a hotel room, so it would have been too small for a longer stay for me. I would definitely go there again!"
