I really enjoyed the location of the property as well as a delicious breakfast that was served in the morning. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

The property did not have air-conditioning which at the time I was there was borderline getting warm

The place was very clean. The location was fantastic. The breakfast, wine hour, all day coffee, tea and filtered water were very nice. Plus a home baked chocolate chip cookie in the evening and free parking for one car. Exceptional
