Nice and quiet hotel
Nice room. Just stayed one night and not in room much but was clean. Phone broke and 1 tv remote for 2 rooms but other than that it was fine. This was our 2nd stay here.

Very nice hotel and breakfast we would definitely come back to stay longer! The outdoor hot tub looked really nice. The location was nice to be on the outskirts of the city!

The staff was friendly and quick, the establishment was clean. The pool was inoperable due to children putting toilet paper in the pool. The hot tub was open so that was enjoyable. I asked for a late checkout and they were kind to extend my checkout by 1 hour. Overall I enjoyed my stay.
