It’s a comfortable, clean space love the ambiance. However getting to the entrance and operating the lock is problematic in the evening for late checking in. The pavers-walkway are not well laid which could result in a fall and the outside walkway to the entrance is not not well lit. Stephanie is a good hostess. I enjoyed being there. I will stay there in my future visit to the area.
