My husband and I enjoyed the nearby shopping and restaurants. We did feel like "outsiders" from the cruise crowd. We didn't care for the parking which required a cart to transport our luggage to the room. Check in was confusing.

It was a nice basic property. The staff was very friendly and the grounds were very nice. Unfortunately, it took them three hours to deliver our luggage to our room (we came on the train), so we didn’t have all the stuff we wanted for our evening hike.
