Would stay here again
The front desk was very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast and happy hour were nice. My only criticism is the pillows - they were terrible - I woke up with a stiff neck every morning. The bed itself was very comfortable.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Every employee we encountered was polite and professional. The rooms had a ‘sewer-like’ odor. They had air conditioners that were noisy but room(s) were humid and got too warm and stuffy. The outside seating areas were wonderful as was the area where breakfast and wine tasting were provided. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but wished rooms were a bit more updated.
