Pros +

  • We enjoyed the quietness of the area. Our creek-side room was calming, peaceful, and delightful. The creek was scenic, with wildlife scampering about.
  • Nothing
  • Beautiful landscaping

Cons -

  • Overall, the staff was excellent. We did experience one, though, that was somewhat inattentive/grumpy.
  • Charged 35 for parking and a fake gym
  • The breakfast is nothing but sugary fatty pastries. Can't even get like plain Greek yogurt. As such, were not able to enjoy the free breakfasts. The toilet was too close to the water control end of the tub/shower making it very awkward - gouged shin

The cost. The setting along the creek was serene in the morning
The entrance is confusing and the layout was weird
