The mattress needs a little help.

Very nice throwback hotel with beautiful grounds and large rooms.

Beautiful grounds to walk and enjoy landscape. There were two fire pits at night. I sat outside to meditate and listen to birds sing.

Nice room but the shower didn’t work. Happy to have an EV charger on site. Staff seemed disinterested in guests. Nonfunctional shower a real pain.

outstanding staff, rooms, pool, and amenities.

Nicely appointed room, a classic hotel feel, nice grounds surrounding property and outdoor pool.

We visited for a little Father's Day getaway -- mostly attracted by the outdoor pool. The pool was very large, nicely maintained, and there was plenty of comfortable seating and umbrellas available. The room itself was comfortable - a little dated, but overall clean and spacious. We were on the third floor towards the end, grateful because there was a grand piano in the foyer and some kids were banging on it... thankfully we couldn't hear it! We had a burger and a drink on the outside patio and it was a lovely evening. We wanted to see if we could have coffee on the patio in the morning, and were delighted to find an impressive all-you-can-enjoy Father's Day buffet available! We enjoyed the prime rib, shrimp cocktail, eggs benedict, cod with beurre blanc... and tasty mimosas. We had excellent service from Jeff and Eli, and vowed to return for Father's Day next year! Loved this place and will definitely be back.

Well, looked like 2 parts to this place. A nice fancy side and an old side. I got the old side. The room decorated like maybe the 50's or early 60's. It was a boarding school for boys in the 40's. The shower plumbing was definitely 60's. The shower drain would back up. It maybe have been plugged or the old plumbing handle was inoperable. That should have been checked before renting it. BUT, the biggest problem for me was the bathroom light and fan switch. One switch controls both. The fan sounded like a jet taking off. Absolutely no piece and quiet there. Could not image trying to take a relaxing bath with that noise. The bed was great for me. The breakfast was good. The other side of the hotel is well kept. I have family in the area and will pass on this place in the future.
