Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel was great! The building was clean. The staff was kind, patient, and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The room was spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The only issue I had was that the bathroom door was a sliding barn door. I would have preferred a regular door with a lock for extra privacy. However, this was a minor issue, and it wouldn’t stop me from staying here again.
