It was super cute and cozy. Hard to give the staff a rating though since I never interacted with any of them. Bathrooms and showers were locked all the time which is annoying since you have to bring your key every time you need to pee. Easy fix though.

Great property but the reception wasn't open once while I was there and it was off putting. I wasn't aware that they did self check in so I was worried when I got there and no one was at reception and they wouldn't answer the emergency phone number.
