Lovely location and great staff. I booked a disabled room as I am an above knee amputee and the built in shower chair was missing. Had to use a deck chair from outside. Otherwise the stay was great

Rather expensive for what it was but nice amenities and property manager was very nice. Main complaints are that the washer didn’t work very well and the bathroom smelled very musty.
