Property was really nice and cozy. I loved the environment. The only thing i would suggest them is to keep a pair of slippers in the room for the guest.

Stayed here Mid-September for a 4 day get away weekend for our Anniversary. Main Areas of the hotel are slightly dated, but room was modern with a nice kitchenette. This was my second stay here this year and both times the staff was great.
