Room was clean, nice shower. Staff at front desk were friendly. Really enjoyed the pool and spa. Continental breakfast was convenient but needs improvement (eggs bland w/o cheese, salsa, or other available sides, etc.).
Lovely grounds and gardens. Courteous staff. Good breakfast. Pleasant, clean room with useful amenities.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms are clean, staff is very courteous and friendly, and the breakfast is good. When we stayed there, the breakfast scene was mayhem due to the holiday, but the staff kept their cool, slowed down to answer questions, and kept the food coming. It was greatly appreciated.
Our request for a first floor room was accommodated. The staff at check in and at the breakfast area were friendly. This location is convenient to many of our favorite places in the region. Thank you.
