Beautiful place! Loved the decor and convenient shopping. Loved Fannys restaurant and Prospect pizza was THE BOMB I did wonder why my reservations were on a Tuesday and Wednesday and on Wednesday my room charge was $200 MORE. I ask the young girl at the front desk and she just shrugged her shoulders and said it varies? Not very responsive nor helpful Sheree Hendrix

Hotel is lovely, however, dining choices are too expensive. Also laundry has to be done with an app that charges a convenience fee- no cash/coin accepted.

This is not location for car users, mainly focus on cruise trip member. Doorman is a most important person in check in !!! You can not stay in the front of hotel entrance for a couple second to take out your staff from a car or make a check in !!! Everything is not for private tourist - if you do have another choice do not book this hotel!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
First of all, this hotel is overpriced and overrated. We travel a lot and we have an idea how much the accommodation should be and what amenities to expect for the price. The check in was okay. Front desk staff friendly but surprisingly no luggage trolley. We had 8 luggages (4 of us), they did offered help though but we had no cash to tip the staff that day so we had to drag our luggages all the way to parking lot to the building. No microwave. I went around the facility and they said no microwave even a single one!!! We had to eat cold dinner that we bought outside. Laundry detergent compartment in Cabin K was so dirty. Overall stay was disappointing. Overly priced. Incomplete ammen

Overall property was nice with many dining & shopping options. Room was clean but cramped with only one chair & tiny bathroom. All 6 of our rooms were not ready at 3:00 pm checkin. Also there was confusion about transferring our bags to train depot and front counter staff were not very pleasant or helpful in clarifying the confusion.

It was so nice to have everything we needed onsite - transportation, dining, gift shops. I was surprised that the rooms were in separate buildings with outside entrances. This made the second floor room very difficult for the grandparents because the only access was by stairs.

It was a nice basic property. The staff was very friendly and the grounds were very nice. Unfortunately, it took them three hours to deliver our luggage to our room (we came on the train), so we didn’t have all the stuff we wanted for our evening hike.
