This was our second time to stay at this beautiful place. The Staff, the cleanliness, and the breakfast are consistently very good, it says that it’s a continental breakfast, but actually, it includes eggs, sausage, biscuits, and gravy, and other hot foods. A very good selection.

Many thanks to Martin & the staff for helping recover valuables left in the room. We returned home from the hotel to discover we had left the valuables. We called the front desk.
