Ticks a lot of boxes for an overnight stay
Pros:

Loved the setting close to the water and trees. Loved being able to conveniently order dinner which was yum. Friendly staff. It had the basics with the bonus of a great spot.

Cons:

Too much room deodoriser used. The bedding seemed to be sprayed too. Glad I had my own pillow with me.

Loved our stay
Pros:

The bed and pillows were so comfy! I was given a little longer to check out when requested.
They found us a great table for dinner on a busy night at the hotel restaurant.
