I really appreciated the TLC from Talyn at the front desk. I spoke to her several times before my stay and was pleased to be able to thank her in person We also appreciated the on- site restaurant after a long day wine-tasting.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked the location, restaurant including food and friendly staff. I disliked that the room they had given us has heating issues and they replaced us to another room. The second room had no direct access to the elevator. I was travelling with my 85-year-old mother who uses a walker due to bad knees and back. She had to go up and down a long path to use the elevator. Too much in her situation. Terrible experience!

The room was clean and comfortable with a view of the water and beautiful sunset. Although the facilities were a little outdated, in general it was good. The restaurant was the highlight; excellent food and service and a beautiful patio.
