Nice attractive hotel. Well designed rooms. Tub was slippery and valve was very stiff. Tub also didn’t allow for baths. Water only available via shower head.
Overall pleased with stay but did not consider it a good value.

Try This Out
I enjoyed the room, it was just hard to get to the entrance of the parking lot due to construction going on. Overall though it was a nice experience.

Lots of potential
This is a beautiful property with lots of potential. The hot tub and pool were not heated. The incidental hold is $150, but wasn't disclosed at any point.

Cute!
Cute property that's secluded and quiet. Loved that it was dog friendly and would have loved to explore more if it wasn't raining! Would be great for a girls trip or a couples weekend.

Always request a second floor room. And request softer pillows. The pillows provided are spongy rocks.

Never got to go
I keep getting emails to write a review about my stay. Well, I wish I was able to experience the hotel, so the not so great review is not for the hotel itself, more so how I was handled during a situation they had. 30 minutes before I get there I get a call saying they’re going to move me to another location because a few rooms were leaking water. Not sure how much water was leaking from the rooms, but I would have even accepted a later check in for maintenance purposes. Was told I didn’t have an option of staying with them and that I’d have to accept the location change. Left with no choice I went to the location they sent me to. An INN. I was so embarrassed since this was a getaway for my fiancés birthday. Here we are at a 2 star hotel for basically the same price. All Steward did was send me 5,000 marriot points which equates to like $20. Thanks, that doesn’t even cover tax. For the hassle and such downgrade I expected better compensation but it is what it is.
