Pros +

  • Nothing
  • The grounds, it was like being in a beautiful relaxing garden oasis. Great job caring for the landscape.
  • We enjoyed the quietness of the area. Our creek-side room was calming, peaceful, and delightful. The creek was scenic, with wildlife scampering about.

Cons -

  • Staff behavior while checking out
  • The pool closes at 6 pm. It would be nice if the time was extended later. The pool was excellent.
  • Overall, the staff was excellent. We did experience one, though, that was somewhat inattentive/grumpy.

Top Quotes:

"The hotel was really nice, outside grounds were very beautiful."
