Nice and clean, needs more surveillance at night for noise.
Pros:

Beautiful gardens and well located if you have a car, clean and spacious room.

Cons:

Phone did not work in the room, grounds are not surveilled for noise. A group were gathered below our window well past midnight, very noisy and had to call them up since we could not reached reception. got a $20 dollar discount t for our troubles, not enough for the lack of sleep.
