Ian, Aug 2024
Had a fantastic stay, really no issues. I think the only thing that surprised me is that the bathroom was incongruous with the rest of the facility, at least in my room, insofar as it was more of what you'd find in a large chain hotel. Aside from that minor note of interest (not a complaint) the charm of room and design of the entire facility will most likely have me look to return.
