We had a great stay at the hotel. The room was cozy. We had a suite which i recommend for a family. My daughter had her own little play area and slept on the couch in the evening. She loved it. Breakfast was amazing with lots of options and a great place to sit indoors or outdoors. Definitely staying here again.

Appreciated the hot breakfast, although room is very small and like a sauna inside. Rooms were clean and well stocked. Staff was friendly and check in easy. Landscaping is beautiful, I especially loved the lavender. Pool was clean but hot tub was a bit too hot because it was filled all the way. They do need to upgrade the lumpy mattresses and pillows. A very enjoyable stay.

Parking was great on the top but the bottom parking lot was a tight fit. The breakfast was great, the room it's in is a tight fit for 15 people at a time. The room was clean, but the pool noise and thundering and scraping of furniture from the second floor was noisy.
