The hotel was great, as was the staff. Perhaps add more clothing hangers in the closet. Sofa was exceptionally comfortable as was the bed. The room was well-appointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Our 1st stay was in May 2021 for our wedding night, and we were excited to be back for a friend's wedding to stay again. The rooms are great and clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable. And the staff are very hospitable & respectful. Love it all and will happily come back in the future!

fun trip
most of staff wonderful except for the grouchy one who checked us in and didn't have the slightest smile or even a nod when she'd pass. Evening bar tender and waitress was fun and friendly. would stay again.
