The room was adequate. It didn't feel safe having to go around the whole building to get to the front desk. We were on the third floor. There were some people next to us who were sketchy, smoking pot out on the balcony, and talking very loudly. While we were in our room, a couple opened our door. The front desk had given them our same room. Later, because of that incident, we were locked out of our room and had to go to the front desk to get new keys. However, I did like the room layout, which had a nice, large balcony overlooking the grounds. We didn't eat at the restaurant but I did hear they had good pizza.

Beautiful courtyard but room balcony walls were too high to enjoy the view from 2nd and third floor. Desk personnel looked liked she loop was getting ready to deep clean something- VERY casual dress. No smoking on premises but our friends were in a room that smelled like someone next to them was smoking weed-they were given another room which worked out fine. Upscale restaurant on site but we did not get a chance to give it a try.
