Very friendly and helpful staff - they do go out of their way to make sure you're well adjusted! Well equipped and well thought designs in every aspect of its facilities. A basic breakfast is included which is really helpful for a conference attendee.

I had a most delightful stay. I would recommend this option to anyone. Be sensitive to the fact you are a guest in a community of Catholic Sisters. They are inviting you into their home. Please be respectful of that fact.
