The location was incredibly convenient—close to main roads for easy access but set back enough to be quiet. It was also a quick and easy drive to both downtown and my work location. The space itself was bright, spacious, and very well-appointed with everything I needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and the AC worked perfectly (which isn’t always a given!). Plenty of parking. No onerous "check out" tasks. :-) Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be looking to book here again in the future. ##### Larissa B.
