Wonderful Floating Hotel Experience!

kitchen utensilsfriendly staffearly check-inloud air conditioning
It was such a unique stay. The kitchen area included all utensils, plates, and coffee mugs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They answered all questions readily. It was nice the cleaning crew got our lodge ready before check-in after our long drive!
The air conditioning unit next to the bed was loud. Its motor made it difficult to sleep. Photos made the space appear larger than it was. The bathroom was next to the bed in the hallway.

We had breakfast on the boat's deck with views of the sunset. It was very nice. A supermarket is just around the corner. This makes it easy to buy groceries and beverages! There is also a pizza takeaway nearby.
