Nice and helpful staff. Beautiful room with balcony and fireplace. Loved the pool! Housekeeping was a bit an issue. A one week stay and I couldn’t get anyone to clean so I did my best to collect supplies and take care of it myself.

Nice place to spend a few nights. The place was clean. the staff were very attentive. Location was superb. The breakfast no so good. Only a couple of things and coffee available. The coffee was not great at the lobby, but it was good and strong in the room. Breakfast, If you do not get there early, there may not be much left over. I will stay there again in the future.
