    "Overall a good experience with pleasant staff and attention to detail. While the room was neat, clean and well presented it was only accessed through the back of the house next to a laundry room. The walk up was unappealing and needs to be walked off from the utilitarian rooms. But, I had a pleasant stay overall."
