I returned for another stay, having visited earlier. the room was super clean with a very comfortable bed. housekeeping was attentive. I learned one of the staff member's name was kayla (she was great!). the hotel grounds had views, set back from the town.

the wifi signal wasn't reliable, as it kept disconnecting. it slightly disrupted my ability to work.
