We were very pleased with our room which was very large. I assume it was wheelchair access because of bathroom. The only minor downside was the shower curtain. I am not a fan of shower curtains. Staff were exceptionally friendly and a great choice for breakfast.

One night stay, room was nice. They were doing some remodeling so it was a little inconvenient. Parking OK but the road noise was noticeable.
