Everything was seamless from check-in to check-out. Breakfast was tasty, even hand pancakes, first for us. Egg white omelette were also a first. Clean rooms and comfy beds. We will stay here again when in the area. Thank you for a nice comfy stay.

Why housekeeping knocked on my door at 4:45 in the afternoon when I was taking a nap and being jet lagged I cannot understand. The do not disturb sign was hanging from the door knob. Is this property in the habit of knocking on doors with do not disturb signs? I woke up and it was 2:30 in the morning from the country I just came from. NOT HAPPY!!!!
