Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms near the porch and back bedroom definitely needed some sprucing up; worn furniture, stained carpet, and a rusty shower left much to be desired. It was a letdown that there was no basic information provided in the room, like how to use the phone or get room service. However, the location was lovely with extra attention to the natural environment and outdoor play areas. The dining experience was enjoyable, but a bit misleading on the breakfast basis for families. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel offers clean rooms with good-sized family changing facilities booked until 11 am. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The breakfast was great, and they served good beer. I will definitely come again, even though checkout is till midnight.
The hotel had a convenient location and offered good service, although possibly overworked staff. The room had a slight issue with the view but was comfortable. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the facilities were satisfactory.
