We were there for a week, loved the property and amenities, art, etc., even the pop-up restaurant was good. I was not happy with the 4-day room cleaning schedule, One of my favorite things about hotels is coming back to a fresh room. I was glad they switched out towels daily, but coming at 8:15 on the 3rd morning of a 7 day stay was not appreciated, and I did not like the expectation of a tip for housekeeping with such limited service. We will stay there next trip with lowered expectations

Couple retreat was very disappointing

This hotel had a very "kid camper" vibe.. which was not listed in the description. It was catered to kids- cartoon posters and signs everywhere - extremely cluttered. We chose a cabin vs a hotel room - (it was a very tiny space). it touted a billiard room- my husband is an avid pool player (it was under construction upon arrival), a restaurant (which was closed due to a fire) and placement to airport due to timing of flights. Won't be back or recommend.

Everything was 5-stars! My only critiques involved the room condidtions. The cleaning staff was incredible and kept everything looking spiffy. The only problems were that the walls are rather thin, so i could hear my neighbors when I had them; and the shower head was barely functional and in need of replacement. Thank you for taking such good care of me while I stayed.

The fireside cabin had gravel and mud in the carpet in the room. We had to move to the main hotel to avoid stepping in all the mess. The main hotel room was nice but didn’t get vacuumed when the room was serviced. Breakfast was free and very basic.

Have stayed here many times over the years and have always enjoyed my stay with no issues. That being said this time i stayed in room 314 for the 1st time and Cannot say i was happy with the toilet placement in this room. Have never had this issue in any other room but i think someone messed up on measurements and placement. It is all but right on top of the sink counter top and uncomfortable to use. Lol. Just saying, it really is.
