Never seen a hotel go the extra mile in the same way. Could actually never have imagined a hotel could have this level of service. Even when I ordered a breakfast item outside of the menu they 100% delivered and went the extra mile to decorate it beautifully and add some toppings. Also loved the 24/7 jacuzzi and the friendliness of everyone. ##### Anna Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### gail 18 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed my stay.

The room isnt large, but well appointed. Staff is superb. Great restaurants nearby and we also we walked the 30 min. downtown( we are 72) took Uber everywhere else. Breakfast is fabulous and the little touches of having cake or cookies around in the afternoon was an added bonus. There are steps to all the rooms that I could see so if this is a problem, check. Otherwise, this is the place to stay. ##### Carol Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 15 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic stay Great stay, felt welcomed from the second we arrived.
