We had a wonderful 2-night stay at this lovely property. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and included nice amenities. Conveniently located with an excellent restaurant on property. Excellent breakfast too. Service was outstanding - General Manager, Ben, was particularly kind and helpful to us.
