The staff was absolutely wonderful. So helpful with parking, local areas to visit, restaurants. Everytime we would come back in, warm welcome, chatting and truly a delight to be welcomed that way. We didn't get to try the restaurant but the prices seemed to be reasonable. The only complaint and very minor at that was the size of the room and the view. The room was very small and my view was of a back alley and dumpsters.

The restaurant was great, very quick service. The location was superb. The beds were way too soft and the sheets were washed in heavy duty starch.i do have very sensitive skin and felt like I was sleeping on sand paper. The staff were very helpful trying to show us how to work the air conditioner. The lemon water at the entrance was a lovely touch! Unfortunately I will not be able to stay there again because of the soft beds and the starch in the sheets
