"Clean, safe and welcoming. Friendly and helpful staff. Prompt replies. Perfect location. Beds were super comfy. Higher price point but worth it because it made our trip so much more comfortable and relaxed. Travelling with kids aged 8 and 10, we were able to spread out in the ample space and make breakfast/food. It just allowed everyone to take a breath after the long days of walking/exploring. Highly recommend."
