Great location with nice friendly staff. I only booked for one night, but liked it so much I stayed another night! Over the years I have stayed in many hotels with 5/6 stars, but I really liked this local hotel and the friendly staff really made for the faceless luxury at 4 times the costs.love it and will stop again!
