10/10 Excellent

"Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this location and the property exceeded all expectations! It was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect—close to everything, peaceful and quiet. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend it to friends and family. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it! Thank you. A great trouble free experience!"

"Breakfast was amazing but after 3 days would have been nice to have a different option for eggs and maybe some form of hashbrowns. Would also have been nicer to have a bread display instead of everyone just reaching into the bags. The facility was dated but honestly over all still a very enjoyable experience! Would return for sure!"
