Relaxing Stay

easy access patio view

The location offered easy access. Breakfast included a variety of options. The staff proved friendly and cute. I enjoyed sitting on the patio looking out over the grounds.

I noticed some dust in the room. I think this could be improved with more thorough cleaning. It detracted slightly from the overall experience.
