Very nice staff, and helpful.
There is a busy, elevated highway ramp just at the front of the property and a busy elevated highway just behind. The city seemed to have wanted to surround this beautiful place with concrete.
On the other hand, the place is a quiet oasis of beautiful plants, trees, flowers and buildings. The houses are full of antique furniture and the Dr. Phillips house contains a large collection of teapots, the like of which has to be seen to be believed. The breakfast offered is buffet-style. I don't believe any meats were part of it, but there was delicious egg 'strata', toast, cereal, sweet buns, bagels, cut fruit, yogurts, spreads for the toast, fruit juices, milk, and some of the richest, tastiest coffee I've ever had.
