Manager was friendly and helpful. Room was very clean, neat and had everything I needed. They take pride in how they present their rooms and it shows. Bed was comfortable, and had electric blanket. Nice greenery view outside, and in warmer weather would be nice to sit out and eat as they provide outdoor furniture too. Well maintained place. Will definitely come back. Thank you
