We stayed in the King Suite with Spa bath. It was very comfortable and lots of space. Cute little sunroom area to relax. The lady at reception that greeted us was very helpful, gave us a map of the area, and assisted us with dinner recommendations. The hotel is a perfect central location, parking was easy.
