Pros:

Its location suited us as we were there for a funeral. We were close to where friends lived so did not have to hassle with traffic issues. The staff were excellent - in the office, the cleaning staff, and the tavern staff. All were very helpful.

Cons:

There was a leak from our shower, which made the tile floor very slippery and dangerous. We compensated by laying out towels to walk on. The staff were helpful in giving us many more towels than we were entitled to.

Not up to their usual standard.
Cons:

We have stayed here on multiple occasions but in a family suite. The smaller room that we were given was not as clean or well maintained.
