Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was right beside the pool and provided a peaceful setting reminiscent of my grandparent's house in the woods, perfect for a low-key weekend. The staff were accommodating and friendly, meeting all my requests until late afternoon, making my stay enjoyable. The location was relaxing near a creek, but the proximity to a noisy roadway was a downside. The dining experience was tasty but limited for vegans, and the facilities offered zen music and daily wine and cheese, enhancing the stay.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were even nicer than we expected, and the whole experience was truly exotic and relaxing. However, the dining experience had some room for improvement. The service was impeccable, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. The facilities were top-notch, making it a great value for the money.
Staying at this hotel was truly amazing! The rooms are the highlight of this place, my suite was exceptional with a king bed and a beautiful Japanese-inspired garden in between the bedroom and bathroom. The view from my room was lovely, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The service was impeccable, very friendly and welcoming, and they even provided excellent wine, cheese, and treats. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of town, peaceful yet close to great restaurants and attractions. The dining was extraordinary, offering a great variety of options, but a bit of a letdown with the quality of some items. Overall, a fantastic stay with some minor areas for improvement.
I absolutely loved the unique dorm room setup with the comfortable bed in a small place above the common house, albeit a bit challenging to reach. The service was friendly, and the pool area with a charming pool house in the garden added to the 30s vibe. The location was serene and beautiful, evoking the feeling of being in a different state. The breakfast experience left me wanting more options, despite the amazing morning meals. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor room for improvement.
My stay at this hotel was amazing in every respect. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and spacious, providing a really private ambiance while still allowing you to join the wine and cheese evening hour. The experience delivered by this hotel would match that of higher-priced options, making it a more reasonable choice for many visitors.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were even nicer than I expected, wonderfully relaxing, and located under the main floor of the house. The service was very friendly and welcoming, although not very helpful when I asked for directions or information. The hotel is in a great location, minutes away from fantastic eateries and local wineries. The dining had delicious options, although the variety was limited. Overall, a great value for money with some minor setbacks.
