Staff were extremely helpful, polite and courteous, including the buffet person who cut up fresh fruit for us to try, and the groundskeeper/ maintenance person whom provided a brief tour of the herb garden, a very nice touch!

It’s great but very noisy with traffic on highway, air traffic and the air conditioner sounded like a jet taking off every time it started. Room was great and bed/pillows comfy though.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property made my wife feel unsafe. The property gave her a room with another person (gentleman) inside. This person invited her inside so he can fulfill his pleasures and it absolutely make me sick knowing how the hotel treated my wife I’m very unhappy with management and how things were handle.
