“Adequate but for the fact I could not get a decent nights rest.”
Pleasant but the heat was extreme so it needed an air conditioner. It made it difficult to get a good nights sleep.

“excellent”
We only paid extra for breakfast. That was because it was never included in the price for the room.

This place is a haven of tranquility - perfect for business and leisure sojourns in this area. Adriana is an amazing host. She is profoundly invested in the wellbeing of her guests before, during and after their stay at the guest as exemplified how she regularly communicated and took trouble to check on us to ensure that we were comfortable at all times. We also appreciated her responsiveness immensely. The staff were equally courteous and professional.

“Adriana and team, thank you”
I love the location as it made it easy for me to get to my work assignment and also when arriving and leaving. Adriana is an amazing host and the staff, Pam and Gogo, just magnificent. Rooms are homely and beds comfortable. The food is great and I loved the fact that they accommodated a request I made with no fuss.
