Relaxing Stay With Excellent Service

beautiful gardenscomfortable seatinglarge choicesecure parking

I found the gardens very beautiful and well kept! The grounds included relaxation pods. These had comfortable seating! I enjoyed the large choice at breakfast. I especially liked the hot breakfast options. There was secure on-site parking available. This was very convenient.

The restaurant closed early. This limited dining options one evening!
