We took an evening walk, a day time walk (lovely railroad trail nearby) and even used the public bus one day. Each was easy to navigate and we felt safe and comfortable. The facility was basically quiet, except for the sounds of our upstairs neighbors footsteps or the loud water pressure from the showers next door,

Older property, but it is a wonderful stay. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean. Love the fireplace in the room. Garden in front is lovely, had my coffee out there, watching the blacktail deer. Walkable to beach in a quiet tree lined neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall I liked the property. The plants were nice, as was the pool and jacuzzi. Staff was also nice. I had a two queen beds room. The rooms are a bit out dated for sure. Beds were quite loud. They said the beds were queens but they were definitely full size. My son and wife ended up taking one bed and I took the other. The bed I had chosen had a broken mattress ( 211 window side bed) so that was unfortunate. The cleanliness was great, bathroom was very clean. Just feels a bit outdated. AC also was holding on for dear life.. breakfast was fine. Over all pretty good, I just wish the bed hadn’t been broken. By the time I noticed it was already late.

Pick this place!

Lovely place. Fireplace and log in the room is a cozy touch. Balcony and sliding door is so relaxing. Hot tub is delightful. Breakfast is continental, nice offerings. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Water cooler is great to get fresh water all hours. Lovely plants and skylights in the public areas.
