helpful staff amazing walks fresh coffee temperamental shower bathroom ventilation general improvements
The staff were helpful. The location allowed for AMAZING walks. The breakfast was delicious and copious. I loved the freshly brewed coffee pot too.
The shower was temperamental. I had trouble adjusting the temperature. The bathroom lacked ventilation, so it became steamy after showering. I think general improvements could be made to the building.
