10/10 Excellent
"Location was the best!!!! Amazing breakfast. Staff very nice and helpful. My only comment would be inconsistency amongst workers. When we checked in, an employee told one thing and by the time we checked out, a different employee told us something different. Other than that, great hotel. I wish they would offer twin beds at the same rate as one queen bed if 2 people are traveling. Still recommend this hotel"
