    We stayed at the Inn" July 11-15, 2008. It was a wonderful experience in all respects. A key factor for us was the opportunity to interact with all of the young people from Bulgaria, Brazil, Russia and Jamaica. We thought their freshness and eagerness to please was a real plus.

    For 3 days we stayed in a "studio" unit and then we spent 2 days in a "residence" unit. Both situations were excellent.

    We are looking forward to returning again next summer.
