Great accommodation choice, this newly opened inn made me feel comfortable and clean, convenient parking, and cheap! My husband said we will book it again next time. Although breakfast is not included, don't forget to get two cups of coffee from the coffee machine next to the front desk when you check out, they taste good

Everything was excellent, staff were extremely helpful and polite, couldn’t do enough for me on my arrival, the room was spacious and clean.
However there was no hot water in the morning for a shower, other than that very good.
