A Pleasant Surprise
free parkingcomfortable bedsmall room
The staff WAS friendly and very helpful. I found adequate free parking available on the premises. The room was clean and the bed felt surprisingly comfortable after a long day traveling.
The room i stayed in was really quite small. Hanging space above the kettle blocked the mirror. It did cause some inconvenience .
