The property was well maintained and the staff were very friendly! We enjoyed the breakfast and I thought the free bikes were a nice addition. We were also gifted a complimentary bottle of wine for being Expedia VIP members

7.2/10 Good! (10 reviews)

The room was okay. Little disappointed at the need for repairs. A cabinet was off the hinge, the bathroom door was not hung well and stuck when closing. Plates in the cupboard were dirty.
