"The only problem was parking. Their next-door parking area was full when we arrived, and, when we returned the next evening, no one was at the desk to let us into the area. So, two nights in a parking lot three blocks away. Otherwise, breakfast was copious, the room comfortable, the terrace very pleasant."
