We had a great visit. Breakfast was very good, with a good variety of different dishes. We also had dinner at the restaurant and it was wonderful - delicious food and very pleasant service. The staff was wonderful. There was no parking at the hotel, but plenty of street parking right behind the hotel. Overall, loved our stay ❤️
