It’s a beautiful, garden-like hotel. The staff were very friendly, and check-in and check-out were both quick and easy. My room had a patio where I could sit and relax, which I really enjoyed. They also offer a limited number of free EV charging spots, which is a nice bonus for electric vehicle drivers.
