Breakfast was great with lots of options. The host at breakfast goes out of her way to make sure you get everything you need. Love the staff. Parking is very easy and feels very safe. No one is just hanging out at the parking lot. During my stay there was construction right outside my window but they were very considerate and ended early and room was quiet and peaceful for a good night sleep. Looking forward to see the updating on the property Looking forward to my next stay which will be soon
