10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time chatting with Barbara along with her wine and cheese hosting skills. Room was perfect size for us and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast wasn’t very good and the room window and door let in too much light from the hallway other than that loved the view from the dining area and the location was excellent. Would definitely stay again!"

"For what we need it was excellent. We had breakfast in the morning and we're gone all day. The pool was our recovery in the evenings. Perfect location for walking. It was a little hard to find initially especially in the dark. We did not know the garage price per night so that caught us off guard. Otherwise, it was a good stay."
