The apartment really needed air conditioning to improve quality of sleep during period of warmer weather. The location was also noisy due to adjacent compressor operating at random times and road noise.

Like 2 years ago, the manager immediately offered to carry our suitcases up to our room. We are in our eighties and would have had serious problems with that. He did the same for carrying them down when we left! GREAT SERVICE 👍!!!!

The room was spotless, had a deep jetted tub, mini kitchen set up, nice TV, brand new bed and suited all our needs. The innkeepers were delightful. I needed to do laundry and they had a small but efficient guest laundry. There were also laundry lines and pegs, which was lovely!
