We loved our stay at Ori. The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, and comfortable, and we especially love the bathroom. Laundry was in each floor and convinent to use. We had two rooms accomodate our large family of seven and having the option to cook helped with planning our daily trips. Highly recommend!
