We would stay again
Our stay was fine. They accomodated us with a downstairs room which we asked for. We felt safe. The hot breakfast was great for being included in the low price. It was neat and clean. They are obviously doing renovations and we hope they will include ramp inclines at the side entrances. The front entrance is handicap accessible but the side entrances have steps.
