Very clean rooms. Very nice staff. A lot better than expected. We had 2 rooms. And my mother was worried because of some of the reviews. But loved her room as much as we loved ours once we got there.

The staff was friendly, the bed was quite comfortable, the price was reasonable. The only flaw is that the breakfast offerings were pretty meager, we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast on a couple days.
