From check in to check out it was an easy process. The lobby and amenities were great! I would definitely stay there again. One suggestion though it was my anniversary and they shut down the firepit at 10pm. Maybe the hours should be extended on the weekend or moved to a spot on the property away from guest bedroom so others can enjoy.
