This is my new favorite hotel! Beautifully tucked away in a wooded and quiet location. Amazing amenities. Plenty of space and incredibly easy parking. I just wish they recycled (in the breakfast area and in the guest rooms).

The water was look warm and the tub had a patch applied, plus the faucet to fill the tub had water pouring out of it even in shower mode. I reported it to the hotel in the morning. Only there one night for work. So disappointed.

Work in progress but quiet and clean.

I was not in my room accept for sleeping which was comfortable and quiet. Front desk, especially the morning of 1/14/25 was very pleasant. I did not ask the name of the young woman who was there Tuesday morning but we had a nice chat. She was friendly, curious and efficient.
