“The property truly impressed with its spotlessly clean rooms and common areas, complemented by thoughtful touches like a coffee machine and quality toiletries. Breakfast stood out, a delicious spread of freshly cooked, local produce that felt both generous and expertly prepared. It's clear the new ownership is maintaining a high standard, and the welcoming atmosphere made it a place I'd gladly return to.”
