The town was small and restful.
Pros:

The facility was very clean. The staff was friendly and respectful. Staff responded to any request immediately. The atmosphere was pleasant.

Cons:

The housekeeping hours were earlier (before 11:00 am), so we had to be out of the room by then. No breakfast served, only donuts. On the main highway making it very noisey.
