The bed was very comfortable .the bed cover surprisingly tasteful.the bedside lights handy for readers in bed. The mini fridge worked,the ironing board very helpful AND the tub actually deeper than normal. Lights and air-conditioning worked. Room was very clean,no smells shower good pressure,,it appeared the rooms were recently redone. Yes,,I highly recommend staying here Lots of parking ,3 minutes by car to Main Street. Handy location!
