Excellent Stay Close to Everything

advantageous locationparking conveniencespacious balconydated design
I found the location advantageous due to its proximity to key attractions. The provided parking added convenience. The communal balcony was spacious, benefitting from ample sunlight, and it was nice. The breakfast was both delicious and filling, precisely what I needed to begin each day.
The room design was somewhat dated and could benefit from modernization.

Boz and Clair were very cute. They were also very knowledgeable about local areas I could visit. Breakfast was good, the beds comfortable. Parking was great with a generous area to the rear.
I thought the room was a bit dated. It was okay, but I will likely stay elsewhere next time. I think it would have been better with newer amenities.
