Lovely weekend away.

I stayed in a Deluxe King over looking the beautiful blooming garden area and the creek. I had a private patio were I could sit outside listen to the birds sing and have a relaxing evening. My bed was comfortable. It was very quiet so I was able to sleep well. This is my second time staying here and not my last.
