We love almost everything of the hotel, especially the gardens of the hotel, even they are little bit of overgrown. The only thing we hope to be improved the air of the room when we first checked in, that might be due to the carpet and air conditioner. Thank you so much, appreciated your service!

Clean, quiet, and rustic charm. Grounds were beautiful. Shout out to the older lady working at the buffet - such a happy person with a tremendous big smile. Loved her energy. The included breakfast was a full buffet with a ton of options. It’s a short Uber ride to all the restaurants and bars downtown. I enjoyed my stay and would come again.
