Perfect Getaway Spot!

dinner servicefree parkingattentive staffengaging staff
I loved the dinner service. It began with drinks in the bar area, then a move to the dining room when food was ready, and a return to the bar after dinner. I found this. There was free parking available which was great! I found staff to be attentive . They engaged well with guests.
I noticed just a slight delay when checking out. The process could have been a bit faster.
