Would stay again

The stay was amazing. I had called earlier in the day to make sure our reservation was good and had told the nice lady on the phone that it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. She went out of her way to make sure there was a cake in our room! Either way I lived it. I got the queen suite and was nice cozy and clean!

I guess I should have read the description more closely. This was an embarassment. Absolutely no staff. Had an envelope with a key in it. This was at 4 in the afternoon. Small rooms. clean but felt uncared for. Right on the main drag.

Good value in high priced area

Nice room with small living/kitchen area separate from bedroom. Kitchen had a full size fridge and small stove/oven (which we couldn't get to work for some reason) small microwave, coffee maker, toaster. Bed comfort was ok. Overall a good value.
