Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a delightful place, with cozy rooms and a warm atmosphere. The exceptional service and convenient location near downtown make it a top choice.
I had such a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had a bathtub and comfy beds, making my stay extra relaxing. The service was exceptional with room service available, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The location couldn't have been better, within walking distance of everything I needed. The dining experience was delicious with a barbeque option available. The facilities were outstanding, providing all the comforts I could ask for during my stay.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its attention to detail and comfort in the rooms, but the lack of bathtub was a small downside. The service was exceptional, with a focus on making my stay truly enjoyable. The location was convenient for exploring the town, although not right in the center. The dining experience was fantastic, offering regional products that added to the overall value. The facilities were top-notch, providing a range of amenities for a pleasant stay.
