The breakfast offered great options. I was charmed. the staff packed a bagged breakfast for my early departure at 6:30 am, a very nice gesture. the location was hard to miss going west to east, i saw a huge sign indicating the turn.

My room lacked a refrigerator, i was disappointed. cable tv was not available. I needed to use my own accounts. there was a huge wooden step between the bathroom and the room where i slammed my toe several times!
