This is our 2nd time staying here. Came to visit our daughters. Stayed here with my husband and mom. Lovely place. Super clean. Beds are comfy. Plenty of towels. Himmel Park is a short walk down the street. Plenty of places to eat near by. Check in was a breeze. Plenty of kitchenware to cook a meal. Having a pool in the summer months is a must. Plenty of room to park. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you. ##### Bernadette C.
