Great quiet getaway
"The staff are all amazing and at other places we've stayed, if we stay more than one night, we get bothered at check out time. Here, there was nobody knocking at our door. The bed is super comfy and the blackout curtains made it dark enough in the room to get some amazing sleep!"
