The Oreo room was great. It included anything you might need in the kitchen. The hosts were very helpful with any questions we had. The sauna was an added feature that was very relaxing at the end of the day. Location is close to downtown which was a plus.we drove everywhere due to the weather, but you could walk if you wanted.

Our suite was an easy place to relax. Comfortable, nicely decorated, just enough kitchen for our needs. Sitting out on the veranda was pleasant but for the traffic noise from the street below. We’d stay there again.
