Chose a balcony room but didn't say that it idoesn't open to outdoors, only overlooked the pool. The pillows on the bed were terrible so would recommend bringing your own. Property was clean and fine for our overnight stay.

A charming hotel in a very convenient location. The room was updated and clean, beds were comfortable and it was quiet. The only downfall is they don't offer breakfast, at all. I knew they didn't have a continental breakfast option, but with it being attached to a restaurant, I assumed we could go there for breakfast. The restaurant didn't open until 3pm, even on the weekends.

Property was easy to navigate and clearly marked. Visited the pool and hot tub area on the evening of our stay and found it neat and extremely relaxing and clean. They had tea, coffee and cookies offered in a counter area to the side. The room was excellent, one king bed with large counter and sink. Separated shower and toilet with door. The A/C heating unit was quiet. Two negatives: first floor room curtains need to close, small gap made me feel like someone could see in the room from the parking lot. Television volume couldn’t be adjusted without much effort and slowly increasing volume otherwise it would adjust back to no volume. Very weird!

Clean comfortable rooms. The only suggestion I have is to make the doors close more quietly. After weddings the doors close loudly all night and all morning

Room was very clean as well as the entire property. Spacious room and comfortable bed, pillows are small and not comfortable. The portable HVAC unit placed on the wall beside the bed up near the ceiling is a terrible design. The HVAC unit blows air directly onto the bed throughout the night, there is an ability to adjust the angle of the airflow however it always dropped back down to directly onto you in a few minutes. The internet is more of a trickle of internet, 3-4 mbps is not ok, constantly had to reconnect. Nice property overall, well designed, just some details that we did not care for.
