The staff was unbelievably helpful. i appreciated that lynn, the receptionist, offered a few room options when my initially assigned room was unsuitable because of stairs. the bistro restaurant was a delight. The food was delicious. i commend the staff for their really good service.
My beautiful room felt a little shabby. It could use some updating. the tv did not work on the first night. also, the shower would not turn off on my last morning.
