The room and ben linens did not smell fresh, so that was a disappointment. However, the room was cute. They provide robes which was great for going to the hot tub. Bathroom was great and very clean. Every room has outdoor seating and in the morning a breakfast basket appears at your door. They have free wine tasting at 4p. Service was friendly and helpful. The hot tub area is very cute and has a fireplace. It closes a little early, however, (9:45). Probably because quite time starts at 10p. We will be back.
