Amazing staff, nice location and beds that are well-above our expectations for comfort! Wife had "the best sleep of her life". Overall, a great stay. Room was smaller than expected, but that didn't take away from the experience.

Walls are paper thin and you will hear everything, and I mean everything! But the location can't be beat as well as the convenience of parking and dining.

Views were great, location is very good. Unfortunately the bathroom was very cramped. I had to lean forward on the sink to sit on the toilet and I couldn’t stand completely in front of the toilet either. Rooms were clean, but

I should have researched the area more. Not the environment I was expecting. Photos on Expedia deceptive. Rooms were sparse
