The property is beautiful and in a very convenient location — easy to walk or bike to just about everything. You can even rent bikes from the property. The hot breakfast every morning was amazing, and I appreciated having snacks and drinks available all day. The only small downside was that the room I was in, the Sun room, was pretty small, but the balcony was awesome and made up for it. Finally, the staff were all super kind and friendly. Overall, a great stay and I’d definitely come back! ##### Christina Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorothy 14 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Will stay here again ##### Dorothy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff!!
