The staff is excellent. He told me a few local attractions that are really nice. I mistakenly double booked for the last day, and the manager help canceled it even though it’s supposed non refundable. I wish Expedia have picked up such a simple error when I made the booking.

Room was spacious with super comfortable beds. Small kitchenette available with microwave and kettle. We loved the old school 90s feel which still looks in its prime. The room had everything you could need for a few days stay. Didn’t get to use the courtyard but it was tidy. Parking easy and Jeff was very helpful with local activity recommendations. A little bit of road noise but nothing significant. We were given the accessible room and it was very well set up for that purpose. Thanks Jeff and Jenny
