The property was quiet and absolutely beautiful. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only draw back was the hvac system in our room was extremely loud and the bed was much more firm than I like.

One of the front desk staff members racially profiled my 17 year old son and her on site Mgr made excuses. The method was uncalled for and I feel they need sensitivity training. My Son was very upset.
