At first we received a room not to our liking. The next day they gave us a new one. Were apologetic and we appreciated the help from the staff person who wore glasses with long brown hair (sorry, forgot your name!) She was very accommodating

Great service! Front desk was amazing and helpful. I wish I remembered her name but the young Spanish lady knew her stuff and provided answers and information quickly while multi-tasking. Fitness center was downstair with a small pool but still could do decent laps in. Food was good. Breakfast buffet was worth it. Rooms were big enough and comfortable. Would stay here again.

This place is isolated, charming and very quiet. The room and bathroom are huge with high ceilings. The bed is a bit small for two and the TV minuscule. The breakfast however is a huge plus.
