"The location is prime in the town so you can walk everywhere and the employees were very hospitable and friendly. The two things that stopped this place from being excellent were the lack of parking for even luggage drop off (especially when you are solo) and the bed. I had to drive around quite awhile to find parking. Also, the bed was too hard. Had to sleep with the pillows under my shoulders and hips because I am side sleeper. They do provide little extra touches and are dog friendly:)"
