Fabulous choice of food for breakfast. Yummy too. Rooms were a good size with comfy beds. Elspeth was a complete angel seemingly appearing out of nowhere when I got stuck.

Every thing was working except the phone in the room, the staff was very helpful and nice. My body wasn’t adjusted to the time and I missed a few breakfast and I ask one of the worker she allowed me to still get some of what was left, I had to take my meds so I was very grateful she didn’t tell me, but I wish all the staff was like her.
