"The hotel was nice considering the price. Beautiful area and quiet was a plus. We did have an issue with a leak in the bathroom but the maintenance man was quick to fix the issue and was very respectful. Parking could be labeled by room to help avoid people parking in spots they shouldn't. Overall we had a nice time and would stay there again."
