10/10 Excellent
"I stayed for 3 days and 4 nights. Upon check in, I found the front desk person to be very professional and efficient. The room was as described. It was clean and neat, as was the bathroom. The surroundings were clean and well kept. I like that breakfast was provided as part of the package. I must give special mention to Ms. Linda, who worked the kitchen. She was very pleasant and helpful. She actually made me feel like it was her pleasure to help the guests with preparing their meals and she kept the little dining room in tip top shape. There was ample parking. I am not sure if the parking lot ever gets full because I went in the off season. My only complaint was with the internet connection. It was a bit spotty at times and I had to go to the front desk to get help with connecting. It was a different front desk person who I saw and she was able to help me get connected, Overall, I had a good experience and if I am ever in that area again I will definitely stay at this location."
