Front desk staff were excellent. Location is close to shops and restaurants but just enough distance that it’s quiet. We had a nice spacious room, and beds were comfortable. Having parking in such a busy town was a huge benefit. We would stay again.

Rooms were okay. We had asked for two separate twin beds but got one queen and one twin which took up a lot of space. Bathrooms were okay, as well. The bed sheets and bed were nice and comfy. I do wish they had included how to get to on site parking in their check in instructions because we ended up in the wrong lot when checking in. We had paid breakfast which was nice, as well.
