My friend and I stayed here for a girls weekend and we had the best time. I actually booked the wrong dates and realized a day before we were supposed to arrive. I was in a panic, but Dallas with The Read House went above and beyond to ensure that the dates were covered and we had a room. He even ensured that our prices matched the Expedia rates. He didn’t have to do that, and it meant so much that he did. We had a fabulous time. The only complaint was that the bathroom in our room wasn’t quite as clean as it could have been. But overall it was absolutely fantastic and we would definitely stay again!
