"The room and the views were wonderful. The breakfast was good with a variety of dishes being served over our four day stay. The breakfast staff were very friendly. The walkways around the grounds need some attention as there are some broken light fixtures along the paths. Also, the bathroom in our room was very modern and everything worked fine, but we could have used a towel bar or two to hang our damp towels."
