Everything was great. Staff remembered us from last week. Very personable. We also enjoyed the gift bag. Another nice thing is the free shuttle to the old town transit center. From there one can just up the hill to the hotel.we were able to check in around 12:30 since the rooms were ready. There were two families.

The rooms were beautiful and clean, the staff was extremely nice, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with a nice variety of food. The only complaint I have was the shower had no hot water only lukewarm water. But my overall experience was excellent. I would definitely come back again.
