New Victorian Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Eventhough they're still going through renovations, they still provided a clean, comfortable room, with a nice indoor pool to relax in. Even when we had a small issue with our TV remote, they were right on it and replaced it within 30 minutes! Always friendly people, with great local recommendations for those of us that are from out-of-town. We've stayed here for years and will continue to enjoy their great service and wonderful breakfasts!!!"
