The location is nice. A very good walking trail is just outside. I stayed the first week of May so maybe they hadn't got to cleaning up the outside of the building.

Coffee is important for guests which is demonstrated by having a good coffee maker which was not present here. The pillows were lumpy and squished to three quarters of their length and needed alot of punching to be usable. Everything else was lovely and comfortable.
