Wonderful Stay and Excellent Service

The check-in process was quick, and the staff were really friendly. The room I had was excellent, with a large, comfortable bed. Breakfast was first class, and John was very helpful. I really appreciated that. The location was quiet, and the water garden added to the beauty of the grounds.
The room keys stopped working on multiple occasions! I had about eight cards . It was a minor inconvenience but still noticeable.
