My wife and I liked both the cleanliness inside and out. We also really noticed how well the grounds were kept outside. The bushes, flowers and lawns were impressive to look at and really enhanced the property. The staff from check-in to dinner at the downstairs restaurant were all very pleasant. And the food was excellent as well. We will definitely be back for another stay.
