"Great stay"

I'm so glad that I took my friend's suggestion to stay here. Friendly staff, great hot breakfast, nice dining area with even a patio for warmer days. My room was clean, comfortable and easily accessible, which was important to me because I brought my dog. The neighborhood felt safe to walk around, another plus for me as I travel alone and sometimes with my daughter.. I will definitely be back!
