"The staff was very kind and friendly. They got us checked in quickly. The room and property was beautiful. The only negative review was our shower head was broken, it was a 2 in 1 the part that is fixed to the pipe worked but the hand held part that comes off didn’t work it was broken so water pressure was bad but over all a nice place."
