The Hotel was clean and around beautiful surroundings. There was a small park near by for the kids to play and beautiful walking & bike path. It was close to town by everything in town was closed. There wasn't much to do or many eating options. The town was very quiet. We were there for a wedding and this was close to venue

The corner suite is great. Plenty of space, lots of light, and a full refrigerator which is great when you have kids and are traveling for sports. The breakfast works well for our kids but maybe some more juice options would be nice.
