Great place to stay while visiting friends and family in the area. I liked that it was an apartment with separate rooms instead of the standard hotel room. We had a large dog and he didn’t bark at all because we didn’t hear any noises. Decent options for breakfast. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful.
