Clean room , awesome staff and nice maintained property. I would suggest some shelving in the bathroom and a towel ring for the hand towel. A hanging bar and some hangers to hang your clothes would also be nice.

The staff were super terrific and friendly. The rooms leave much to be desired. The bed was really terrible forcing my husband and I to constantly collide in the middle. There wasn't a fridge in the room so we ended up having to throw out our food. The room was as clean as it could be probably for how run down it was. The site and location - beautiful!
