"We were greeted like part of the family, the room was HUGE (room 5) and the location was perfect. Walked about 15 min to wine tram and there were plenty of restaurants around (Allora had great Italian food!) Breakfast was wonderful, staff was so friendly! Wish we could have stayed longer but we highly recommend this property!"

"The unit was spotless and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Just check the bottle opener - bad quality and not in working order. Also the cushions on the bed needs to be repalced."
