We loved our midweek stay here. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were on a real getaway. The staff was friendly and seemed truly concerned with making our stay special. The room was very nice. The restaurant was perfect for breakfast and an evening snack/drink. Location was great. The only issues we had was that there were times that we could hear our next door neighbors.
