great service clean space traffic problem unbelievably hot

Our family room was big. It had enough space for everyone and it was VERY clean. The staff provided an evening meal. The food tasted delicious and the service was great.

Parking was a PROBLEM because it is off a main road. sometimes it was impossible to get onto the drive because of traffic. THE room was so unbelievably hot. It was impossible to get any rest.
