David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were impressed with the size of our room and the options available for breakfast. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We also appreciated having a keurig in our room with good quality coffee. We didn’t get to use the pool amd hot tub, but it looked very nice. The location was also great. Close to many restaurants, shops, and only a 20 minute walk to the water. We would stay here again.
