Was recommended by owners at the I-76 Antique Mall and was VERY pleased. Room had great ligh blocking window treatments, lots of pillows, was very clean and quiet. The ONLY thing that disturbed me about the room was that the A/C fan was kinda noisy even on low. I did not use the pool but it looked like it needed to be vacuumed. The continental breakfast was awesome.

A great choice for travelers coming off I-80. Very convenient, yet far enough off that highway sounds are muted. Also, just steps to a good Mexican restaurant.
Good beds, clean bathroom. Excellent overall.

The stay was peaceful! Everything went well except, housekeeping did not change the bedding. They made the beds up but did not change the sheets. The staff maintained their professionalism.
