    Very friendly, easy location, very comfortable. Not fancy but fully equipped. Jacuzzi bathtub right in the room. Owners were very accommodating as we were arriving late. They left our keys available for our rooms and let us settle up the next day.

    Quiet location even though it is close to the main road. The family room was a good size and it didn't seem too small for the 5 of us. Very clean and it had everything we needed.
