Good!

The location was very convenient, and the room was clean. The only challenge was controlling the room temperature, since there was only a fan without a timer or thermostat. On the positive side, the waitress at breakfast was super friendly and made the experience really pleasant.

Would stay again, needs just a few improvements

Wonderful property with comfortable bed and pillows, freshly made breakfast and friendly staff. 2 things which could be corrected. The rooms were clean but the carpeting in the hallways were very dirty and the flooring in the elevator was very dirty and missing tiles which detracted from the overall impression. Also, blackout curtains are desperately needed. Otherwise, common areas in particular were beautiful and parking was easy!

The staff was exceptional, willing to assist in any way and very friendly. All areas, including the room, were kept clean. The lobby and garden were truly unique. I even managed to take pictures of a bunny. The breakfast fruit was very fresh and delicious. We would consider staying again. The only trouble we had was clearly marked parking signs and spot availability.
