10/10 Excellent
"Lovely front desk ladies. Room 101 was a suite and first impression was that it was very clean and the carpet was pristine. The room felt like a premium lodge/cabin and very homey with the heater on for us. Comfy bed. Soft sheets. Good pillows. Breakfast was light and good quality."
