We loved our stay! My husband and I felt welcome and relaxed. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Our room was beautiful, especially the bathroom! Our only complaint is the pillows. Both of our necks hurt, but that’s kind of normal for hotels in general. This was a splurge for us and we enjoyed it.
