Very helpful and friendly staff. Every employee we encountered was polite and professional. The rooms had a ‘sewer-like’ odor. They had air conditioners that were noisy but room(s) were humid and got too warm and stuffy. The outside seating areas were wonderful as was the area where breakfast and wine tasting were provided. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but wished rooms were a bit more updated.

I booked based on the location and information from other travelers regarding the comfort of the beds, nothing like a comfy bed after a day of traveling. Front desk was super nice guys. Loved the lavender gifts in the room.
