Rooms are small and cold, poor lighting, bouncy/uncomfortable bed, and privacy is a concern. No breakfast available. Grounds were beautiful and front desk attendant was great, but other than that, not much to offer.

We arrived after dark. Parking was a challenge and finding our room was also difficult as the light in front was out. We were in room 43.

Our room was nice and as advertised. The second night of our stay there was no parking available on the premises and we had to figure out parking away from the property. When we got to our room, we found out we did not receive any housekeeping services. The room was damp from our towels from earlier that morning. Will not return to this property.
