Very clean rooms. Breakfast was good and staff replenished it quickly. Beds were comfortable but squeaky. Staff very accommodating. Disappointed the pool was locked but wasn’t sure of their season. Only real negative was that there was no ramp or elevator to bring up Luggage to the second floor, however the front desk did offer to bring them up so there’s that. Well run operation !
