Wonderful Stay!

cute hostscomfortable bedsbreakfast choicestaff details

The hosts were very cute and showed us exactly where the parking area was! The room was on the top floor and included very comfortable beds. The staff provided a fan. Breakfast service included a friendly greeting and many choices, I especially liked the yogurt! The staff was wonderful, and I appreciated all the little details.

I noticed a few crumbs on the stairs upon arrival and they remained there for a couple of days. I hoped they would have been cleaned away sooner.
