"The staff provided excellent service. However, the building is a bit outdated. The hair dryer did not work. There was some disturbance in the hallway in the middle of the night. Not sure if I would go back."

"Great place, great folks. Would recommend. Upstairs loft bed is a bit of a fat man’s trap. When I come back for a second stay I’m going to bring an air mattress to sleep in the living room. Beautiful land, sunset rises and sun sets. A romantic get-a-way."
