Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hostesses were very friendly. The room was small, but we were with family in town most of the time, so it was fine for sleeping. The location on the water was great! There was a tapping in the ceiling and wall at night (pipes?), which would have interfered with sleep, but the room and mattress were very comfortable, so we slept well. The area is quiet, free from traffic noise. We'll definitely stay there again!
