Lovely grounds

Comfortable, very clean older hotel. Awesome grounds, lots of plants and spaces to hang. Spent two nights —- first night woken after midnight by very noisy people in adjacent room. Luckily, they left with their loud cars and friends the next day. Otherwise, quiet, reasonably priced place.

I loved this property! The check-in was a breeze, the room was newly renovated and clean. They had an EV charger free of charge at the front. The breakfast had fresh fruit, cereal, and other good options. I give this hotel a 5 star. It would be nice if they had a hot tub, after a long drive, we still loved it how it is.

This was such a great vacation. This property is absolutely beautiful many many flowers and trees. There were hummingbirds and all kinds of other birds as I was a traveling solo female. It was important that I felt safe. This place is well lit. Of course the fire pit was amazing as well. The manager is not very friendly at all however, all the other staff were wonderful, friendly and kind very accommodating. I highly recommend this establishment.

Our room was fine, except the TV didn't work. The maintenance man, Bubu, was able to fix it after changing some of the equipment. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We like the outdoor patio area and the dog run. All in all, very satisfied, we will return.
