Warm, professional greeting at checkin. We were pleasantly surprised with sparkling wine to enjoy as we relaxed in our handsomely appointed room. The property is spotless and newly renovated with upscale decor that is very tasteful. We loved the outdoor spaces with fire pits and fountains and plenty of seating.
