Had an amazing stay at this hotel. From the moment my partner and I walked in, we noticed how clean and fresh everything smelled. The atmosphere was private and peaceful, with very few people around, making it feel like our own little getaway. The bathroom was modern and well maintained, and the view was a nice bonus. The gym, while not huge, had everything needed for a solid workout. Overall, the hotel was spotless, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay here again!!

The hotel itself looked very good. Very well decorated and appealing. The room was nice as well at first. However, when I woke up and got ready to shower, I noticed what looked like a rodent dropping in front of the shower. It looked like a coffee bean but I hadn’t had any coffee in the room. I also noticed some crumbs underneath the bed which I am positive were not mine. Nice hotel but I’m sure there was something in that room.
