The gardens around the courtyard were beautiful. Our room on the 2nd floor (no elevator) was spacious and the kitchenette was nice. The complimentary wine and cheese hour was enjoyable.

Really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Great breakfast (egg frittata!), free parking(!), clean room, comfortable bed, great bathroom (love the counter space and water pressure in the shower), and loved that we had a mini kitchen! The only things I didn’t like were safety-related: no chain on the door that leads to the outside, and the screen door didn’t have a lock on it.

The staff, morning breakfast, and evening cheese and wine were all fantastic! The jacuzzi had a lot of foam, which can maybe mean that it is dirty. Also, there was a strange odor in our room and it took a day to finally figure out that it was coming from the bathroom sink drain. The front desk was notified, and they tried to do something, but it was not eliminated. Had to put a glass over it. Construction on the building next store caused there to be some trash kinda left around.
