This was a great location, I loved the suite style room with many amenties in the kitchenette. The Bar Daniel and roof top were fun and so convenient. The staff was amazing! Only recommendation is to have hand soap in the bathroom. Weird that it's missing and had to use the shower gel.

Stunning boutique hotel. Immaculate grounds. Room was impeccable and clean and quiet. High end furnishings and appliances. Our room was a suite with a separate bedroom and it felt like home. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Awesome place to stay. Would highly recommend. Also: perfect place for a wedding party to stay. The roof top bar was the place to be!
