5/5 Excellent

"The staff were amazingly welcoming and kind. Very comfortable stay. A dozen restaurant options less than 5 minutes away on quiet roads. Upper floors have been remodeled and improved. Our room was one on a lower floor that hadn't yet been modernized but we still felt it was great. Minor maintenance issues like the room number missing and deadbolt screws starting to come loose will get addressed as they complete the remodel, I'm sure."
