Lovely location, very awkward trying to get from parking area into hotel without navigating a very steep, wet driveway or using a circuitous route to an unmarked side entrance. Very disconcerting, especially for seniors and families. Breakfast was available, but what we tried was not good - powdered, cold eggs; very thick cold grits; gummy oatmeal; extremely stale, hard grocery store bagels with warm whipped cream cheese. Bacon was good.
