Excellent Stay in Quaint Village
convenient parking excellent variety
I found convenient parking readily available. The included breakfast was substantial and offered excellent variety (the pastries were especially tasty!).
I noticed that the soundproofing between rooms was not optimal. This resulted in some noise disturbance from neighboring guests, particularly in the early morning.
