A needed week of relaxation

We just really enjoyed the stay--the grounds (sitting in a gazebo for morning coffee), the concerts and food trucks in the "back yard", and the quiet. It was very relaxing. We are just sorry we did not get to utilize the on site spa.

A hidden gem

Everything about my stay was wonderful except I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Some parts of the property look a little tired, but it is the end of summer and it may just be the dryness. The walking trails were just gorgeous and so peaceful.

Very clean and quiet hotel. Rooms were very comfortable. My only negative was breakfast. Either offer a better buffet style or charge extra and make breakfast “free”. For an extra $14 on weekend for lack luster eggs and bacon, just didn’t hit the mark. Since there really isn’t anything close by to get a quick breakfast I feel that this could have made a huge difference. Other then that hotel was nice enough.

My opinion is influenced by recollections of what this property used to be under the former owner. It started out as a very upscale property (it used to be in the Relais & Chateaux group), and it was an "experience". I hadn't stayed here in about 15 years and now it's a clean, modern, friendly but completely non-descript, standard, property. It was a good value for the rate, and I would stay again.
