Despite being an older property, it's been meticulously maintained. My room was very clean and the bed/ linens allowed me to sleep like a baby. I really enjoyed how quiet my surroundings were. Super friendly staff, great (free parking) and the location is second to none. The included hot buffer breakfast was incredible and not something I expected to be included. I'd definitely stay here again!
