"The property is a little older but everything was extremely comfortable. The parking lot was gated & safe (additional charge). Everyone who works there was friendly & helpful. The sweetest surprise was the excellent restaurant downstairs akin to an authentic Parisian bistro! The pool area looked really nice but we didn't have the time to use it. I'll definitely be back.
