The staff are friendly and professional. The receptionist, Michael, brought an umbrella to my room quickly. The courtyard room provided ample space. I found the bathroom facilities were excellent, with double sinks.

The building is beautiful. The grounds are very well cared for. The staff in the dining room were attentive and cleared away breakfast dishes promptly. Gabriel makes lovely omelettes!
The receptionist who checked us in gave us no info regarding food times. She also gave no info regarding the location of the room. The room was run down and dirty. Bulbs were broken in the bathroom.
