Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was small but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. My only complaint is that the person at the front desk said the driver price to the airport was per car but then the driver said it was per person. I believe the driver was just trying to make extra money because he charged per car in-town, so him changing his policy reflects badly on him and the hotel. Luckily, we had enough money to pay but it was a shock. I don’t blame the hotel but they need to be clear with the driver so this doesn’t happen.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was a very lovely stay. Staff were super friendly. The only thing I’d say is that there was not enough parking to accommodate guests so often had to park behind other cars. And a small fridge in the rooms would have been great too. But other than that really enjoyed our stay.
