Clean, well-maintained property I would return to.
Pros:

The property is excellent, well maintained, and provides a nice breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

I wish the breakfast hours went to 9:30 or 10:00 but that is not a deal breaker for me. I would stay here again!

Nice place, has an EV charger. Breakfast was lackluster.
Pros:

Nice room, got the King room with the sauna which was lovely. Glad they had an EV charging station.

Cons:

Breakfast was lackluster, not worth the calories. Website says EV charging is flat rate of $15, we were charged $25.
