Perfect Stay, looking forward to returning
Pros:

Loved everything about this property, the bed was comfy, the sheets were soft and the floor was quiet. Ill be returning to soon

Cons:

Breakfast spread was really good. I would advise that they have 2 people serving in the egg station because the que can get long especially during peak times. I was impressed by pancake machine.
