I had a cozy stay with constantly clean and very comfortable rooms that were well-equipped. However, the lack of some complimentary toiletries upon arrival was a minor inconvenience, and the long steps could be challenging with a leg injury. The service was amazing, the staff was very friendly and dedicated to meeting all additional needs. The location was perfect, near the airport with easy access to major highways, and the natural surroundings were ideal for relaxation. The dining experience was satisfactory but could have more variety in food choices. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
