We arrived late and were worried we would not be able to eat at the restaurant. They told us to go on in and were able to have a fantastic meal. We were a littke disappointed tgat they were oit of the Salmon but that is to be expected since we were so late. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere was great. We would definitely stay there again & have already recommended it to freinds.

We had a wonderful time and very impressed with this hotel. It gave me enchanting vibes! My only complaint was that the shower head in the shower was awful. It sprays water everywhere but on you with little pressure. (I had to stand on the side of the tub to wash my hair!) It was a small sacrifice for an otherwise great stay.

The front desk as I checked in was very polite and quick. The room was clean and well maintained and the patio was great to have to relax. Breakfast smelt fabulous! The parking is very tight and if you are traveling with a trailer you will have to park on the street.

Had always been curious about it. It was an experience. The room was not what I expected. Room was too small I thought I had reserved a room with a balcony in order to sit outside. Apparently not. Is breakfast the same every day? Staff were wonderful! Better luck next time !
