The staff was friendly & helpful. Room was ready, very clean & comfortable. Breakfast was pretty good, with quite a few choices. The only negative i have is that being located on a curve, you need to be extra careful when pulling out of their driveway onto the street with heavy traffic at times. Also you can only (legally)turn right into or out of driveway. Its do-able though. Overall it was great.
