Solide, gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Pros:

Nette Unterkunft im Motelstil, komfortable Zimmer. Ins Zentrum mit dem Auto keine 10min, zu Fuß aber zu weit. Der Ort hat uns gut gefallen. Parkplatz ist inklusive

Cons:

Das Frühstück war selbst für amerikanische Verhältnisse zu mager. Aber es ist inklusive und man kann sich später immer noch was woanders holen.
