I loved this hotel. The staff was wonderful. Dinner wasn’t bad but not mind-blowing. Breakfast was pretty good. You could tell that every detail of the room was chosen meticulously for comfort and a smaller environmental footprint. The outdoor space in the back was heavenly to watch the sunrise. I was even lucky enough to have a bunny come hangout with me.

Not the greatest stay. The room was mostly clean but there were cobwebs around the ceilings and black mould at the bathroom sink. We were given a very welcoming check in tho.
