My in-laws love this area. There’s nothing technically WRONG with the property—it’s just definitely….for older folks. Everything about it screams “made for your grandparents”. I do think that’s the image they were going for. And I was there for a concert and not the area. But it would never be a destination were it not for that.

Essenhaus

Overall a good place; room size, bed and amenities were nice and everything was very clean but bathroom fixtures were old and in need of replacing and the noise from adjoining rooms was noticeable. The grounds were very nice with plenty of walking and bike paths.
