I really wanted to love this hotel because the staff were amazing. However, the beds were absolutely awful. We did not get any sleep! Also, the pool and hot tub are in poor condition. Not impressed.

Beautiful property that has been recently renovated. The room was clean and very quiet. Parking was close to the facility and close to my room. The only thing that was not ideal was that the mattress was very firm and uncomfortable to sleep on.
