Such a cozy stay! We loved the room and the location of the hotel is phenomenal. Even though it was off season, we found more than enough to do and the hotel’s proximity to everything was great! Definitely will stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

The bathroom and bedroom were very clean. We stayed in the southern cottage. Our room did not have air-conditioning, but it did have a ceiling fan. The kitchen downstairs was tiny. It had a tiny mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and electric tea kettle. There was also a tiny mini fridge in the bedroom. You cannot cook a full meal in the kitchen.
