solid stay, great location

separate areas pretty decor spacious bathroom good space
the family room had two separate sleeping areas. a curtain divided the space well. each room had a tv and there was an ensuite plus a separate wc. the main bedroom decor was pretty and the bathroom was spacious with a bath.
the other room needed some paint to match the main bedroom's decor.
