Michael was very welcoming and made sure I had all the information I needed. I loved being in a place with some beauty and charm, and not being in a sterile hotel. My little room was cozy and quiet, and the bed was terrific! I could hear the airplanes landing, but they stopped at a reasonable hour. It was no problem. The yard was beautiful and peaceful with lovely plants and a couple of water features. The walk to the convention center was a mile and a half. It was very pleasant in the morning, but good walking shoes were a must. One night I took a cab back and one night I walked. It's a little more uphill on the way back, but the exercise was nice after a day of sitting.
