Beautiful grounds, lovely and quiet rooms. The restaurant was quite good.
A rather long walk to outer buildings. Would be helpful to have golf carts to run people back and forth.

I loved the bed, it was nice and comfy. The hot tub was warm and relaxing. The front office was friendly and welcoming. I was able to park close to my room, that was a good plus. I also enjoyed the nice, updated, HUGE bathroom. The shower was relaxing, but the water was awfully too hot - I just wanted cooler/warmish water - but I could ONLY get super hot. Someone might want to look into this before a child or elderly person get burned!
It's been a long time I've stayed at a hotel. To be honest, I've been booking Airbnbs because everything is included, and you know what you're going to get from the get-go. But I decided to give this hotel a try because it seemed charming and different. The price wasn't the cheapest, but it wasn't the most expensive either. When booking online, it said we would get a room overlooking the marina, but that didn't happen. Instead, we got a room really close to the pool entrance, which I thought was cool- until about 4:30 in the morning. People kept coming and going all morning through that gate. Not sure if it was the cleaning crew or people trying to open the gate to the pool before it opened, the slamming of the gate right outside our room was not very relaxing at all - we hardly slept after 5am! Secondly, I don't like that our room doesn't automatically come with "free parking". I understand not wanting random people parking in your parking lot, but the room should come with the parking spot for my car, and if it doesn't - booking.com should have been VERY CLEAR that our room would not come with the parking spot - it felt like a sleezy "hidden" fee. Lastly, the cleaning lady was knocking next door at 9am "housekeeping!" We surely knew she wouldn't knock on our door next - but she did! She not only knocked on our door, but she also peered through the window - this was such an invasion of our privacy! It made me question if check-out time was at 9 and not 11. We tried to ask her, but she didn't speak English. I wanted to check my phone for the reservation, but I forgot to bring a phone charger. I looked through our paperwork, the signs, & hotel map for a "check-out time," but I couldn't find anything. So instead of having a relaxing morning, we rushed to get ready and got out of the room as quickly as we could, afraid that I didn't know what I thought I knew.

In the rooms the furniture was dusty, the staff was fine but the one who checked us in was not aware of the agreement between the local college.
