Reviews and Ratings
After an exhausting 8-hour drive, the room was really hideous and uncomfortable; I found myself escaping to the car for a more appealing space. The hotel needs a few upgrades, especially the carpet, but the bathroom was great.
I absolutely adored my stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were lovely, oozing charisma and charm, albeit needing a few upgrades like replacing the old carpet. The shared balcony provided excellent views over the lush gardens, making it a delightful retreat.
