    friendly staff
    substantial breakfast
    faulty shower

    Had an awesome time with friends! The location near many attractions was perfect for our weekend escape. We enjoyed live music from the Frankie Wesson Duo at a local venue. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was truly substantial. Highly recommend giving it a try!

    We had a little trouble with the shower in our room, as it didn’t drain well, leading to a flooded floor. But it didn't ruin our overall experience.

    Surprising gem with great dining!

    We stayed for 2 nights and absolutely loved it! The food was spot on, especially the dinner and bar snacks. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Only wish the curtains in our Classic Double Room were a bit better at blocking out the light. Still a fab place with cozy vibes!

    Perfect place for a solo getaway

    The staff were welcoming and helpful. I indulged in a fantastic massage with Dayna at the spa that really helped me unwind after a long day. The food was nothing short of amazing, truly satisfying to the last bite.

    It was pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for.

    Super comfy stay!

    I stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute! The staff were super friendly and made us feel at home. The classic double room was so comfy, and the shower had instant hot water – bliss! Breakfast was a feast with tons of options. Just wished the Wi-Fi was a bit stronger in the room.
