It's like staying in a castle.

The facility is beautiful with a view of the water. The staff was friendly and everything was clean. There was no elevator but staff is willing to help with bags if you need it. I really enjoyed the facility and the area.

The only staff we had contact with was the front desk. They were cordial. No staff available in the breakfast area -toaster was not plugged in so it wasn’t working. Refrigerator in room cycled on and off and the bed was creaky.
