It was especially accommodating for large groups like ours; we had nine of us, so the multiple bedroom arrangements and bathrooms were a nice bonus. Marie was also very easy to communicate with. Only thing was that we couldn't find a recycling bin on premises, but that was about it. ##### Joelian Harold F. Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ---
