The location was fantastic, offering easy access to local attractions, including cafés and unique sites nearby. We appreciated the clean facilities and the welcoming staff, especially Marshall, who made us feel right at home. The lounges were perfect for relaxing, and having two kitchens made meal prep a breeze.
