Excellent Location and Helpful Staff
unique setup king bed free bus ample parking
I stayed in a split room. The room had a King and a Queen bed. It was a unique setup that offered more room. It also gave more privacy when one does not want to get two separate rooms. The location is a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. The free bus pass was also great. I also found parking available for my entire stay.
I did notice the need for more light in my room during the evening. This was the only thing I would have liked more of .
