This was a wonderful place to stay. It was so relaxing and quiet. The breakfast was fabulous as well. I got the single twin room and I thought it was perfect for those that want a little privacy. The view was beautiful from the window. I have nothing negative to say.

Enkel og grei overnatting. Ligger i nydelig område. Stille og rolig, stor, gratis parkeringsplass. Rom av vesentlig enklere standard enn byens hoteller, men MYE billigere.
