"It was evident that the property was recently and is currently being renovated. It is very nice. It looked like they may have had the space for serving continental breakfast, and that would be a nice addition in the future especially since we didn't see any place convenient to have breakfast. There is an outdoor pool that isn't open. Maybe that is in the plans for the future."
