Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was an amazing find! The rooms were cozy with the best waffles I've had on the trip and a lovely view to top it off. The three beds were a bonus, and the included breakfast was a great touch. However, the price was a bit on the higher side.
This hotel was a lovely surprise with rooms that came with the best waffles we had on our trip and a delightful view. Although the three beds in the room were convenient for our group, the service somewhat lacked warmth with no welcome drink provided.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and clean, the staff was welcoming, and the location was perfect. However, the dining options were somewhat lacking. Price-wise, it offered great value for the experience.
