I found this hotel to be smack dab in the center of the township, which was super convenient and there's even an attached restaurant. It's a shame they don't do breakfast, though. The service was okay with an onsite manager available; tours and ticket assistance were offered. The rooms were on point with free wifi and a private bathroom. The homemade pastries were a nice touch, but dining options were limited. I appreciated the effort made by the management during their absence to ensure everything ran smoothly whenever possible.

The hotel is located right in the center of the township, offering convenience and easy access to nearby attractions. The attached restaurant is a plus, though it’s a shame they don't serve breakfast regularly. The rooms are comfortable with private bathrooms, and the onsite manager ensures a smooth stay. However, the lack of emphasis on customer service is noticeable.
