Great place. Only issue was the bathroom door didn’t close, and one of the lampshades fell off in the middle of the night and scared us a little bit. Other than that, no issues. Was clean and quiet!

We arrived for a concert at the fair and the staff hooked us up with a shuttle so we didn't have to drive. They were pleasant and helpful being we were from out of town. The beds were comfortable after a long travel day and a night at the fair. We'd stay there again.
