The space was lovely, staff was very friendly. The only issue I have was that the room smelled old or maybe funky idk and the things I needed I had to get from the front desk. For my own piece of mind I had to do rough wipe of all the surfaces but overall the room was very nice. I couldn't use the tv since it said no signal. Quiet and serene place with everything in a good distance and beautiful view.

The property was very convenient as the company I was visiting was less than a mile away. Ladies at the front desk were very friendly and asked if there was anything that I needed. Furniture for living room/kitchen was dated. Bathroom was good size and clean.
