I really appreciated the free parking. It made things so much easier. The breakfast was amazing!!! There was such a variety of options.
The front desk staff were not friendly at all. I felt quite unwelcome. There was no kettle in the room, so I could not make tea.

The hotel location is scenic. I had a spacious room and it offered beautiful views. The team members were great. Breakfast included many choices and fresh items. There was convenient parking available. This made arrival and departure very easy. There were good trails near the premises. I found it very relaxing and safe.
