amazing stay!

warm welcome spacious room breakfast treat
we needed a cozy place, especially cause the weather turned wild! finding this gem reminded me of pure luck. the team here are AMAZING, they gave us such a warm welcome. our room felt so spacious, and i swear, the bed was like a cloud! breakfast time was a total treat and before we left, we were sent off with so much warmth.
the tv situation in the room was a bummer. it wasn't working, so i missed catching up on my shows. a fix there would make it perfect!
