Fantastic Stay in a Good Place!

The breakfast included so much food. Everything anyone could want was available. A lounge area is available with a self serve bar. It creates a great atmosphere. I seemed like I was entertaining in my own home. I also got lots of good advice from the host.
The overall decor looked a bit dated.

The location offered a beautiful view.
The decor was very dated. The patio door in my room did not lock securely, and that was a concern. I think the hotel needs some updates.
