No elevator and restaurant is closed Wed & Thursdays. Everything was clean and the room was spacious.

Decor in room was very cool. We had a first floor room that had a patio open to the 5th hole on the golf course. Unfortunately, due to the lack of staffing - a 2021 problem - had the restaurant closed until the morning of our checkout day. Breakfast that day was very good.
