So the location is fabulous as are the outdoor spaces - firepit, breakfast view, etc. The room is big, the gas fireplace was unexpected (and unneeded for us). Great stay

Nice location. Pleasant grounds. Large room, nicely furnished. Some dinged walls, peeling paint, crumbling grout begging to be refreshed. Staff reasonable pleasant, though would not provide invoice on departure, saying Expedia would provide, which Expedia did not. Included breakfast was below average for hotel of this level.
