We only stayed one night and didn't have much interaction with staff. The curtains weren't wide enough to cover window completely and left open space in middle. There were not enough towels, wash clothes, and hand towels. The grounds were lovely and overall everything was clean and tidy.

Would stay again for location.

Room was outdated and had a musty odor. Shower was warm at best. Got hit for a min and then back to warm. Bed and pillows were ehh. Not terrible but definitely not plush comfort.
