"It was ideally situated in town and had an excellent restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be the bass booming through the floors from the bar at midnight."

"Overall stay was fine. The room was fairly large and had what I needed. It was very clean with a stocked kitchen. Only concern was I didn’t get sent the key access code and there was no indication that reception was over a mile away."
