Great one-night stay!

Be sure to call in advance if you're arriving at the train station and Andrew will pick you up! I appreciated the upgraded room when I was late to arrive. Andrew has a fascinating back story that I was happy to hear about!

Not the best but not the worst. The laundry room was purely trashed. Our "suite" had an ant issue. For one night, it was okay. The van to the train station was surprising and awesome.
