I really enjoyed the hotel's perfect location near the main street. the staff were AMAZING explaining everything i needed to know. breakfast was great, with many options available. i chose fresh pancakes with maple syrup. They were just gorgeous!!!
the non-privacy doors made of clear glass in the bathrooms were not to my liking. i would have preferred a more opaque option for added privacy. the cleanliness was good though.
