"This hotel was in an amazing location. The view was INCREDIBLE. It is a very old property but they do a good job of trying to keep it clean, maintained and updated. It wasn’t the Ritz Carlton by any means, but it was good enough for what we needed. Close to an AMAZING golf course (walking distance) ..."
