Daniel, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully updated.

We stayed for just a couple nights, but it was a perfect place for us. Great location. Beautifully updated, lovely grounds with fire pits, outdoor bar + friendly staff. The only downside were the guests above us that were sporadically loud + inconsiderate late into the night. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit of a bummer.
Robin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice outside ambience with fireplaces and courtyard bar.
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was beautiful, loved the fire pits. Everyone was very helpful and we had a great stay. Our room had a lot of charm and bed was comfy. We were able to walk everywhere. I was a bit off put by the $26 +tip valet parking fee which I must have missed in the description. I would definately stay again but would park in the public lot nearby with a cheaper fee.
