great coffee, great atmosphere, noisy toilet!
"This was a great trip! Morning coffee was great. My daughter and her friend thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Our room was comfortable and clean. My only heads up is the toilet - it was the loudest flushing toilet I've ever heard! I could hear other toilets flushing too."
