Everything about my stay at The Lane Retreat was top-notch! The room service, cleanliness, room space, and hotel location were all fantastic. The only small issue I had was with the Wi-Fi password — I couldn’t find it anywhere. It might have been provided somewhere; I just couldn’t locate it. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone!

Great place to reset

We had an amazing stay at The Lane Retreat! Large room, quiet, perfectly located. The breakfast amenities in the room were healthy and adequate. The Pantry store on site was great for morning coffee. We stayed 2 nights and booked a room each. Great place to reset and relax after a day of wine tasting. The room just needed a vacuum, but otherwise the facilities were delightful.
