wide range of foodearly closureisolated location

The breakfast buffet offered a wide range of food. That was good.

The pool closing at 7 pm was irritating. That is way too early. it made it hard to plan any evening swims. also, the location made it difficult to walk to places. It felt isolated.

Colonial Elegance and Delicious Breakfast

spacious roommarble bathroomcomfortable beddinglimited options

I appreciate the spacious beautiful king room. The marble bathroom included opulent details. The super comfortable bedding ensured a restful sleep. I was grateful for the hotel breakfast, it has a plethora of delicious options.

This limited our dining options. I hope that the hotel can help fix this issue.
