May 14 2008: Stayed here with my bro for one of our good friend;s wedding. Nice resort hotel , good location. We had a garden view room with two queen beds. Nice bed and clean bathrooms. We stayed in the fall but the room was little stuffy so we used the a/c but it did not work that great. The bathrooms have two sinks so this is great for two guests. We had a nice balcony and I could smoke in my room if I wanted to but my bro requested me do so on the balcony. But this is nice for smokers because most hotels are non smoking.
ATM on site which we thought was very convenient and there are bike rentals too. We did not spend too much on the grounds because we had a bunch of wedding events to attend but it was a nice hotel with friendly staff. I actually sent out my clothes to be pressed which I have never done and it was back in a NY minute. The prices were reasonable for this service and convenience, too.
We didn't have the food here so I can not say if it was good. Just had their coffee and that was pretty good so I did not have to scout out for a nearby Starbucks.
Date of stay: November 2007
Purpose of stay: Leisure (With Friends/Group)
