8/10 Good
"This is a great place to stay. Itโ€™s conveniently located near shopping & dining. Itโ€™s set back from the road, so road noise isnโ€™t an issue. Through 3 stays, this place seems to attract guests that are quiet & not up late. The property is clean, well maintained, and the staff is friendly. My only complaint is that the mattresses are rather soft. I prefer firmer, but itโ€™s easy to look past. Price is reasonable."
