Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We loved the location of this hotel. It’s a close 3 min walk to The Village. The property itself is still under renovation but it’s looking great. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Loved the french press they provided. Also love the fact that pets stay free. All in all we loved our stay and would definitely book again.

This quaint little hidden gem will be the place to be after all renovations are complaint. We stayed just after their second weekend open. I can tell once everything is completed I would rate it all excellent!!! The staff was incredible & welcomed us back with a free nites stay to acknowledge a few of the renovation issues. Well done & great location!!! We will be back & not just for the free nite. Highly recommend!!!
