This is a great boutique hotel! I’ve stayed here 3 times now. And I’ve been very happy each stay. Clean, pretty grounds and rooms, great pricing, I love that they have a restaurant available on site as well. Checking in and out is always so simple and easy.

Nice quiet property and resort. The service was pretty bad. They always run out of towels at pool even though it was not crowded. They had sofa bed which was worst quality. They did not provide extra sheet, pillow or comforter. When asked, they dropped one item and forgot the rest. Even though we were family of four they put limited cups, coffee and other supplies including bathroom items. We would always run out and they won't pick the phone at desk. They had expensive parking and very expensive restaurants on site. Their discount is useless. Not many other options to eat closeby. They charged extra service charges at checkout which was not mentioned on Expedia while booking, however it was not significant amount. Overall experience was just okay. Was expecting a lot based on rating, pics and cost.
