Relaxing Hot Tub

After a long day of hiking, I indulged in the hot tub, which was a luscious luxury. It really eased my muscles and made the end of the day much more enjoyable.

Cozy Duplex Setup

The room had a unique duplex setup. I loved having the bedroom upstairs, while the lower level provided a comfy sofa and kitchenette, making it feel like a cozy home away from home.

7.4/10

Our stay at the boutique hotel was pleasant, featuring a comfy lounge area and helpful service from Chris. However, the room layout was a bit unconventional, with the bathroom downstairs from the bedroom, which wasn't ideal for us. The traffic noise from the main road was a bit disruptive at night, especially with the windows open. Overall, it was a cozy spot with some quirks, but good to know for future stays.

Rooms

7.0

The room was quite unique, with a comfortable bed upstairs along with a couch and desk, while the bathroom was located downstairs. The layout wasn't the most convenient, especially for older guests like myself.

Service

Chris was exceptional and went out of his way to help us with breakfast arrangements for our early start.

Location

The location was decent, making it easy to walk into town. However, being close to the main road meant we dealt with some truck noise throughout the night.

We had a decent stay at this boutique hotel. The location is quite good, and Chris provided exceptional service throughout our visit. However, the room layout was a bit strange with two levels, which was not very convenient for us. It got quite warm, and although a fan was provided, the noise from the road was a bit disruptive at night.

The room was warm and clean but had a strange two-level layout with the toilet downstairs and the bedroom upstairs. It was also a bit noisy at night due to road traffic.

I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel, with a good location and a comfy lounge area. Chris, who assisted us, was exceptional, but I did find the room layout a bit strange and not ideal for my age group. While the room was clean and warm, the road noise was a downside, and I would recommend requesting a room farther from the street for a quieter experience.

The hotel's location is great for accessing nearby attractions, but it does back onto the highway, which can lead to some road noise.

I had an interesting stay at this boutique hotel. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and Chris offered exceptional service during our time there. However, the room layout was quite strange with the toilet downstairs and the bedroom upstairs, which was a bit awkward for me. Also, I found the room to be extremely hot, despite the fan provided. If I stayed again, I'd definitely choose a room further from the road to avoid the noise.

8.0/10

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, largely thanks to the exceptional service from Chris and the comfortable lounge atmosphere. The strange room layout, with the bedroom on the upper level and the bathroom downstairs, wasn't ideal for my age, and the road noise made it a bit tricky to enjoy a peaceful night. Nevertheless, the overall experience was enjoyable.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were cute and comfortable, but the layout was a bit odd, with a two-level design that made access to the bathroom inconvenient. It would have been great to have a toaster in the kitchenette as well.

The location is good for exploring the area, but be mindful that it backs onto a highway, which can get noisy, especially with the windows open.
