Great staff, bike rentals, cleanliness. One thing is that the hot tub had a slight odor that didn’t smell to great. Could have been the people who used it prior but that was kind of annoying. Also my shower had very strong pressure.

The amenities were the main reason why we chose this hotel. We enjoyed the quiet and secluded courtyard with pool and hot tub. Having access to cruiser bikes at their sister hotel next door was great!! We also enjoyed the continental breakfast. The breakfast bar was always stocked and well maintained. The staff was pleasant and gave us helpful recommendations.The rooms were clean. Free parking was a plus. These little extras personally saved us a good amount of money that we could spend on other activities and a nice dinner out. The hotel is a little bit off the main area, but we had no problem walking or biking to whatever we wanted to see.

Our room had a musty (moldy?) odor. The room seemed clean enough but the tile in the bathroom was dirty in the corners. Generally, the exterior appeared nice but the pool area needs attention to detail and the circular staircase up to our room needed a good pressure washing. The breakfast was quite mediocre. The staff were pretty cursory.

The room was clean. The room needs a couple of chairs to sit in besides this dining set. Not comfortable for relaxing or watching TV. Hotel location is great. Close to everything and right off the highway. Staff was very friendly and recommended a couple of very good restaurants. Plantings in the garden are very nice and well manicured.
