10/10 Excellent
"The location of this property is fantastic and we loved it. Sadly there is a bit of construction in the area but we still would have stayed in this area. The room was spacious and beds comfortable. We loved the air conditioner because my husband and I both run hot at night. The breakfast was wonderful and their staff even better. I highly recommend this property."
