What a gem. I will be returning to this property close to everything and everyone who works here is helpful and friendly. I had a problem with HVAC noise and they moved me to another room. The TV in that room was not working so they counted my valet parking for the entire trip. The location cannot be beat.

We enjoyed the beautiful courtyard with firepits and the gazebo bar. Our ground floor room was comfortable and nicely decorated. We had issues with getting cold water from the sink faucet and it was a bit noisy as you could hear guests walking above us. I would recommend staying on the higher floor if you can do the stairs. The location could not have been better.

Really nice unique hotel. The grounds are pretty and there are so many spots for small groups to sit and have a drink. Fire pits scattered all over. Would be so fun with a group of friends. Attached restaurant had a delicious breakfast. We were sorry we didn’t eat dinner there too. Will come back with friends hopefully.
