We stayed at this property as we had fond memories of past visits. The staff were fantastic, but the site and rooms are tired and need some attention - re painting, new carpet and extra amenities like an additional soap for the shower and a blanket for cold nights and additional pillows for those that need more than one would have made things better. once simple things are done, it will be just a good as it ever was.
