Such a great place to stay. We stayed on a wednesday night for just one night. My husband had surgery on his ankle that day.And we booked an accessible room. I cannot tell you enough. How wonderful Everything was from start to finish. Kim at the front desk, paid art check in very easy. A young man named Chris was working maintenance on the grounds helped us with our door, later gave us restaurant directions, AND delivered extra pillows to our room that we requested later in the evening. He would not except a tip from us. How rare it is to find that kind of an amazing employee. The was very clean, the bed and bedding were upscale. Totally updated, however, I did miss a full length mirror in our room. The only mirror is over the bathroom sink. Will definitely stay again.
