We loved the spacious room with two comfy double beds, and the cleanliness throughout was impressive. The hotel had easy parking right outside our door, making our stay very convenient. With its peaceful location set back from the main road, we enjoyed a quiet atmosphere while still being just a five-minute drive to explore all that this city has to offer.
