The staff was very friendly and professional. Everyone I dealt with was helpful. The grounds were well kept and the plants were beautiful. Breakfast was delicious every day. I would suggest that they offer more local fruits especially fruits in season. The bathroom needs to be updated. The shower makes a very loud sound for the entire time it is on, and the bath tub feels like plastic that will break any second.
