Loved this facility. It's quiet, serene, and understatedly luxurious. We travelled from Las Cruces New Mexico on the way to Vermont and this was by far the best hotel that we stayed in our trip across the country. I highly recommend this property to all.

Our check-in was all done online and so we got a digital key, which makes it so convenient with 2 toddlers. We were able to select our room online and selected a more spacious room. The only downside is, we were greeted by a beetle of some sort on the bed! The hotel is also across from a large cemetery, if you are superstitious, it may not be for you.

Poor on all counts

These THREE ROOMS were absolutely disgusting! Had to request 3 different rooms. 1st room on second floor was soiled to include broken lock on door, phone did not work, foul smell, stained sheets and mattress with blood or stool on curtains. 2nd room the same, again, second floor and the last room was Fourth Floor, exact same dirty and broken lock! I CALLED HOTELS.COM to explain what was happening lady on phone was incredibly rude, argumentive and hung up on me after telling me to take my issue to the front desk for refund.I spoke to front desk, after also waiting over 15 min for someone to appear at the desk while i was calling the desk on my cell phone. He did not answer and magically appeared with a hood on his head! I left facility and drove back home 4 hours away(total trip 8 hours travel back to back). My medical test was not completed because there was no other hotels with open rooms! I was charged twice and ONE CREDIT! THEY STILL CHARGED $226.?? and change to my card! DIRTY, UNSAFE, POOR EMPLOYEES, RUDE 800 NUMBER, THEFT OF MONRY. GASLIGHTING. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
Stained sheets and mattress with foul smell in each of the 3 rooms i tried before leaving facility. Not for $226.00 per night! NO refund to paid room was given
Blood or stool on the drapes in 2 of the 3 rooms I moved to then left facility. GROSS! Not for $226.00 per night! Do not book through Hotel.com! They are ignorant and hang up on you when you bring these issues up! No refund to paid room was given
No mattress pad, just a fitted sheet on the nasty mattress. Not for $226.00 per night!No refund to paid room was given

Had to wait a while for the front desk person to open the door so we can check in late in the evening. It was super cold, middle of a snow storm and no one answered the phones. The rep eventually arrived claiming he was helping a guest in their room. After checking in, we called down to ask questions. Again no answer! Night front desk management needs to be upgraded. Room was just ok! Some areas were not clean.
