charming stay with fine views

warm welcome clean room amazing view delicious breakfast
The staff offered a warm welcome upon arrival. the room was huge and spotlessly clean! i had an amazing view. It was special. breakfast featured homemade items. It was both plentiful and delicious. the restaurant provided very nice dishes and the best table service.
The shower was right next to the toilet seat. it was not separated. There was nothing between them, just the wall. the bathroom felt very small. I couldn't even shut the door fully because of the rug.

Wonderful Stay, minor hiccup

fresh fruit valley view front door convenient parking
The breakfast included eggs, meats, cheese, and fresh fruit. The hotel faced the valley. It was perfect for watching the celebrations. I parked right outside the front door. IT was very convenient.
The wifi never worked . I would have liked a more reliable connection. This was a slight inconvenience for planning my day.
