We were greeted upon arrival in the evening and were in a room within minutes. When we left the following morning a hearing aid charger was left and the hotel graciously mailed it priority to my sister. We are very grateful.

This hotel is so beautiful. I was completely shocked when I pulled up in my car. I did t expected to see how beautiful this hotel is. The picture on the internet did not capture the real beauty of this hotel. I was greeted by guest and felt really good I about the decision I made to booked a room here. I went during the winter and the decoration included the beauty of this hotel was stunning. The room was perfect and they also had a small restaurant/ bar that closes at 10:00 pm. We did have dinner and the food was delicious but the restaurant was pretty plain and didn’t match the hotels look. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. I was very pleased with our decision of staying here. I was a little worried when I saw the picture of the hotel online BUT I must say it was quite the surprise. I will definitely be coming back to stay. This hotel was an amazing.
