Spacious and clean room. Our balcony was extra large! They served a very delicious breakfast for a good price. We actually enjoyed it more than when we ate in town. The internet was a problem though, it did not work or was so slow it was unusable, but thankfully we had a hot spot to take video calls for work. Would definitely recommend as long as you don’t need internet. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f92b3ca1-87f3-4849-8b10-9c3fd8bfe06d-1746604435407.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd92c397-5017-40e0-aad2-01bf6a2655ac-1746604435406.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Vanessa Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary-Ellen Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Arrived very late.
