Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. That being said I'm in a wheelchair and used one of their 1 bedroom roll in shower suites, everything was great except the couch was too close to the outside wall, making it nearly impossible for me to reach the blind controls. It was liveable and I was only there two nights upon checking out I made a point to mention moving the couch showing a picture to the front desk honestly not expecting much, but to my surprise was greeted with a very concerned inn keeper who needed to know what room I was in and what needed to be done to make it better for future guests. I don't review hotels often but this one deserved a review because the inn keeper both on check in and especially check out really showed top quality customer service and that is lacking now days.
The controls I could barely reach
