Nice Place

Really nice place with excellent staff who really make you feel welcome. The food in the restaurant was first class and, although very busy, the staff worked wonders to get everyone seated and served promptly.

Lovely staff and a fantastic location – beautiful rooms at a very fair price. Went above and beyond during our stay to handle bags, flexible check-in and a minimum of fussy paperwork all handled digitally in advance. We'll be back!

Pleasant plus.

A warm welcome and very helpful staff. I especially enjoyed the small bottle of real milk for my tea and the home cooked cookies. The small booklet was a delight listing the sources for the products in the room even down to the linens. A very pleasant experience.

The property is fairly new and the rooms are basic and in a good shape. The rooms we were in did not have AC nor TV. Only front facing and top floor rooms have AC not sure about the TV. It was hot and if you leave windows open, you get the car noise early AM followed by the construction noise next door. We asked for rooms with AC but they did not have any. Staff are friendly and try to be helpful. We had to leave a night early due to the heat and noise. They were not willing to refund us for the last night. Restaurant food is fairly good.
