We enjoyed our stay here at this beautiful, quiet and clean property. It is well maintained, however, we didn't see any staff during our stay check in and out was self service, which didn't bother us. If we needed something we called customer service number and they were quick to respond and helpful. The only thing is we couldn't eat in the rooms, yet their restaurant was closed as were most restaurants in Marysville so that was frustrating especially with children. It would be nice if there was a communal kitchen or at least fruit and sandwiches made available for guests. The breakfast is continental however could do with fruits and pastries. Overall we did enjoy our stay it, would stay definitely stay here again.

Warmly greeted at reception and the retreat was clean. Breakfast (Continental) was a bit underwhelming. Obviously the current shortage of staff is impacting this business like many others.
