Our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Wonderful staff. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was one of the most impressive spreads I've seen in quite some time and was included, which made it even more impressive. Parking was easy. Everything was fantastic. My only comment would be to maybe add seating to the balconies, but the fact that we had one was such a bonus so it's more a suggestion. Would definitely stay there again.
