Enjoyed the large room. Huge bed. Lovely hot tub. Fireplace was great. Room was super clean. However they missed the wasp nest in the window (we noticed and shut the window do they couldn't get in the room). And that our soap and shampoo were all empty. Otherwise in the Cottages it was great. Loved the community rooms. Pool area was very nice tho sauna has been out of order for well over a year now. Excerixe facilities were nice. Parking was very convenient. Main hotel seems to need updates. Cottages not so much. WiFi worked well tho it should be secured. Hot water never ran out. All amenities in the king with the hot tub were great. Staff were great all 2x we interacted with them. Whoever was near us Sunday night though had their music cranked with bass for about 6 hours straight or longer. Til well past midnight. We didn't work the next day so we let it go. Will definitely be back.

The highlight of this hotel is definitely the decor! If you enjoy the outdoors, this is a great place to stay. The room was clean and quiet. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and the indoor/outdoor pool. We did run into a slightly awkward situation when a staff member was yelling on her personal phone, but we walked away and hope this is not a common occurrence.
