i traveled with my family and found the inn to be a good place. the staff members were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. the outdoor gardens were particularly beautiful and well maintained. our room was replenished daily with fresh water and other essentials, which i found very attentive.
the pizza i ordered one evening was not quite up to the standard of other meals i had . the crust was a little soggy and the toppings were not evenly distributed.
