All-in-all it was a comfortable, quiet, and affordable stay. Would probably stay there again.
Pros:

The location was easy to access and was close to lots of amenities.

Cons:

Several little maintenance issues in the room needed looked at (curtain opener-rod was missing; shower washcloth holder missing and holes were not sealed; hairdryer evidently wouldn't stay in the holder as there was double-sided tape to hold it in; no 'grab bars' to get into/out of tub). These were just small inconveniences and didn't really affect the whole of the room. Also there was very little seating in the breakfast nook.

We greatly enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

I had wonderful engaging conversations with both the desk staff and housecleaning.

Cons:

The water faucet in the shower was not particularly friendly. It was more difficult to adjust and to turn it off completely required extra attention.

Would stay again but will bring more snacks.
Pros:

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, pleasant and fun clerk

Cons:

Very limited supply of snacks and was cash only. I only had $4 and could only get one water and one small bag of chips to share with 2 hungry grandchildren. Luckily I had a couple apples of my own to add to the snacks
