It is conveniently located just outside of town. When there was a mistake as to picking up the key, the issue was quickly resolved. The one thing that we could not overlook was the substantial downslope in the floor, running from the door to the bathroom. My elderly mother with a bad knee and back had a hard time navigating the room because the slope was significant.

Very clean with good amenities. If you have balance issues, be careful with the sloping floors as the building is newly and nicely renovated, but clearly a lot of settling of the foundation.

Made a mistake on reservation and immediately called. They charged an extra $61 5 minutes later. The room was fine but they should not even say it includes breakfast. Pop tarts, yogurt and coffee. Not even juice.
