"We were happy overall with the accommodations. Check in was simple, the room was spacious and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen had all the necessities, there was a washer and dryer and they provided detergent. The bathrooms had a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Very nice to see/have. I was a bit put off by the ants and spiders I killed in the room and the mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets. Again overall great weekend get away."
