"Great location! Nice to take breakfast on the lawn behind the rooms for the fabulous view. Comfortable bed and well appointed room. Communication could have been better about hours of breakfast and offerings, there was conflicting information on line as to breakfast start time which got us behind schedule on the first day. Second day understood the process and no problems encountered with check out. Thanks!"
