We only had one night here but it was perfect! The room was very clean and tidy, bathroom was quite new looking and pristine. It had everything we needed. The best part was arriving to a beautifully prepared, pre-warmed room after hours of driving. Extra thanks to the thoughtful staff who gave us this lovely welcome!
