"The only thing we can down grade on was the inconsistent room prep. Example, no coffee restocked at night for morning. Some guests in our party had welcoming gifts, others had nothing. Some had cookies at night, others had platters with rolls, cheese, meats. Not sure why but seemed inconsistent between rooms. Other than that, we loved the place."
