We love our stay here because it’s so peaceful. Our room was comfy. A bit dated but we didn’t mind it because we love the ambience, the pool and the restaurant and the access to the bike trail. We will definitely stay here again.

The view from our room was beautiful. The room is a little dated but it was squeaky clean. The property is well kept and manicured. The continental breakfast was decent. My only complaints are that there was hardly any parking, the bed was squeaky and there was no luggage rack in the room. I would recommend staying there 100%.
