Clean and Efficient Stay

friendly staff clean room comfortable bed
We visited friends who provided meals so we only slept at the hotel. The staff members were helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was quiet and I didn't hear other guests.
The restaurant was closed when I arrived at 6 p.m. on Sunday. The bathroom was dated with flaking paint and mold.
