Our stay was fine. A couple things that could have been different….only one coffee cup and there wasn’t a parking spot marked with our unit number. Minor things, just caused a little confusion…

My Stay

Overall it was a nice, quiet place to stay. The only thing that was difficult is being on 3 rd floor with no elevator access. I’m handicapped and the stair climb was difficult. Luckily a nice gentleman carried my suitcase up for me. The tv selection for viewing was poor and you need smaller plates to fit into microwave
