10/10 Excellent
"We arrived early and our room was cleaned so we could prepare for a family wedding. We were always greeted by staff as we moved in and out the door. Location was beautiful! Breakfast was adequate, room was welll-appointed. Pillows were kind of hard. That’s my biggest complaint. That means it was pretty great!"
