"Check in was very quick. The staff were very friendly. Our room (with 2 doubles) was clean and the bathroom appeared to be recently updated. One nice thing for seniors is that there were lots of grab bars in the tub./shower. The coffee for the Keurig in the room was excellent and the decaf was Swiss water. Breakfast has lots of options, including make your own waffles, real egg scrambled eggs, nice sausage, fresh fruit and lots of cereal options. We wish that we were able to stay another night."
