As advertised. Clean. No surprises. Hard for my old dog to go up and down but my own fault for not thinking about it.

The rooms are all redone. It was clean and no bugs!! Loved that if I needed a shower chair there was one available already in the bathroom. Breakfast was great and the staff was amazingly kind. Definitely will be returning when its time to stay in the area again.
