The Burgundy

The Burgundy

8/10 Good
"My husband an I stayed at The Burgundy for one night. It was a last minute plan and were able to book a room for a good price. The staff was very nice and helpful. However, it did take a couple of minutes to check-in. The room was not luxurious but it was clean and comfortable. Internet was terribly slow and we had to connect to our own Wi-Fi. I would recommend this place if you are looking for something basic and affordable. Location was nice and close to The Village."
