Loved it- will be back!
We really loved the welcoming staff---our room was lovely- with lots of special touches- that were quirky and fun! The courtyard was so nice! At night the firepits were on- and even though it was quite cold--it felt nice to sit our there for a while! Really a great oasis--and near everything we wanted to do! Clean and Beautiful!
