Excellent Stay , Great Food

quality food attentive staff clean room

The breakfast was cooked to order , and it set me up well for each day. Staff were always happy and ready to assist guests with a smile. Rooms were very clean and had a fresh smell. I found the beds very comfortable.

The shower didn't work correctly . It alternated between too hot or off. This made showering quite uncomfortable. The TV also presented some issues. I had difficulty turning it on at times.

Service
