Older hotel, well cared for. Clean rooms, clean hotel. Staff were amazing. We were exhausted after our flight and drive and were able to check in early. This meant the world to us. Breakfast was great, wide variety of any breakfast item you could think of.

All the rooms are on the ground level, which makes it easy to come and go. Wonderful breakfast with many options, even dried fruit. We enjoyed seeing the horses. Downside is the halls are tile, which was extremely noisy for rolled suitcases. Even with earplugs, I did not sleep well. Hot tub was not open during convenient hours.
