10/10 Excellent
"The view is beautiful! Our fur babies stay for free which is always a plus. Only downfall was that it wasn’t to clean there was a piece of bacon left on the chair in the room and a wash cloth left in the shower. We notified the front desk she apologized and gave us a pack of chocolates."
