    Guests who stayed here loved

    “The staff was super friendly and helpful. They were able to provide a mattress aid when their bed was too hard. the view is stunning. Their fish was amazing. They made an effort for my wife's birthday! Baked her a cake free of cost. The bed was too hard There was a big bathroom but no bath The shower head needs improvement -- hot water was a bit of a struggle as well. The towels were too hard The food with the exception of the fish was 2/10”
