My husband (68) and I (58) stayed for five nights, and were very pleased all the while. Great breakfast, helpful staff - very clean and fresh room. We loved the attitude; respect for all, be kind, take care of the planet. This concept is great. Also, the location was perfect. Thank you for a great stay!
