Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property is very clean and the staff both friendly and helpful. The location is within walking distance of a grocery store and many places to eat, making meals convenient. The location has good parking and is usually quiet at night. Only downsides were the bed mattress was hard and the shower needs more water pressure.
