Nice, large room. Very friendly staff. Location excellent, close from the center, big grocery store across the street. Parking spaces. Nice tiny outdoor pool with fresh-cold water to cool down.

Nice feel with beautiful pond next door.

Very easy check-in and had a nice homelike feel. Rooms were nice, not exceptional but totally worth it. The walk around the pond was the best way to start the morning, with a Bald Eagle in the tree right above our room.
