9/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
Very nice and clean place. Bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. Shower great. Breakfast was good with sausage, eggs, potatoes, waffles, pancakes, plus much more. Quiet. Only thing I wasn’t empressed with was the wifi, it was really slow and I had to sign on multiple times.
